Neatness

Neatness is a crowning grace of womanhood.

Fontenelle.

We must be neat; not neat, but cleanly.

Shakespeare.

As a general thing, an individual who is neat in his person is neat in his morals.

H. W. Shaw.

We must avoid fastidiousness; neatness, when it is moderate, is a virtue; but when it is carried to an extreme, it narrows the mind.

Fénelon.
