Sometimes God takes you to troubled waters not to drown you but to cleanse you. Keep going and stay strong.

Sometimes you just need a fresh start. A new beginning. A clean slate. Just get rid of everything going wrong and make it go right. Color your hair. Quit your job. Purge all the negative things and focus on all the positive. Just do it.

I’ve always envied people who sleep easily. Their brains must be cleaner, the floorboards of the skull well swept, all the little monsters closed up

Markl : Are you sure you’re not a witch?
Sophie : Oh, yes, I’m the worst kind of witch there is! The one that cleans!

Whatever you don’t want to clean, better hide it now!

Each and every one of us is born with a clean heart. Our babies know nothing about hate or racism. But soon they begin to learn – and only from us. We keep racism alive. We pass it on to our children. I think that is very sad.

“This is awful. This is not fun drunk.”

I got up and cleared the coffee table out of the way so the Colonel could walk the length of the room without hitting any obstacles, and said, “Okay, can you stand?”

The Colonel pushed his arms into the foam of the couch and began to rise, but then fell backward onto the couch, lying on his back. “Spinning room,” he observed. “Gonna puke.”

SO THIS IS HOW NOAH FELT. You wake up one morning and God has forgiven you and you walk around squinting all day because you’ve forgotten how sunlight feels warm and rough against your skin like a kiss on the cheek from your dad, and the whole world is brighter and cleaner than ever before.

Often, the best way to start over is with a clean slate. To make that happen, it’s essential to focus on the good things in your life, not the bad.

And I too, felt ready to start life all over again. It was as if that great rush of anger had washed me clean, emptied me of hope, and, gazing up at the dark sky spangled with its signs and stars, for the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe.

We are not afraid to look under the bed, or to wash the sheets; we know that life is messy. We know that somebody has to clean it up, and that only if it is cleaned up can we hope to start over, and get better.

The most impactful moments of my life have been the clean ones. The clean streets in the early a.m. hours — the town is mine to own. The blank pages — no story yet written. The new friendship, the new name, the new pair of eyes staring into mine and I can be whoever I want from now on.

New month, a new beginning. Turn the page and start over, with a blank slate. We all deserve to have our story begin on a clean page.

I love to be clean. I wear the same things, all of my clothes pretty much look the same. I’m a plain and simple type of guy. I don’t really do a lotta busy colors and things of that nature. I feel like less is more.

Just got my truck washed and ready for the weekend.

Clean your home first before complaining about others.

If you are clean, you don’t have enough fun.

It wasn’t my war, Colonel. I’m here to clean up the mess.

Tomorrow when I awaken, the slate will be clean, and a new day will stretch before me. God’s mercies are new every morning.

Deputy Mitch: Gault, what the fuck was that?
Deputy Sergeant Arthur Gault: Well, the man said ‘Clean him up.’ Clean him up…

Barbershops – Clean cuts. Close shaves.

Sweep in front of your own door.

A Frenchman may possibly be clean; an Englishman is conscientiously clean.

A little dirt, never hurt.
