Everyone should consider his body as a priceless gift from one whom he loves above all, a marvelous work of art, of indescribable beauty, and mystery beyond human conception, and so delicate that a word, a breath, a look, nay, a thought may injure it. Uncleanliness, which breeds disease and death, is not only a self-destructive but highly immoral habit.

"Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more."
"I am a man of science, not a politician."
"Let the future tell the truth and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine."
"I myself eschew all stimulants. I also practically abstain from meat."
"Science is but a perversion of itself unless it has as its ultimate goal the betterment of humanity."
Serbian-American inventor and electrical engineer whose alternating-current designs powered the modern electrical grid; died poor and largely forgotten. Closely associated with George Westinghouse (his AC-power business partner) and Mihajlo Pupin (fellow Serbian-American physicist at Columbia). For an intellectual contrast, see Thomas Edison, American inventor and direct-current advocate — Edison's direct-current power-distribution scheme was displaced by Tesla-Westinghouse AC in the 1890s 'War of Currents'. Edison ran a public-relations campaign electrocuting animals to discredit AC — the most famous engineering-ethics rivalry in American history. Tesla's AC won and powers nearly every electrical grid on Earth.

Your body is an extraordinary, fragile gift deserving deep reverence and careful stewardship. Treat it with the same awe you'd give a priceless masterpiece. Even subtle neglect — poor hygiene, careless habits — damages something irreplaceable. Dirtiness isn't just unhealthy; it's a moral failing because it destroys something of immense, almost sacred value that was entrusted to you.
Tesla was obsessive about personal hygiene and health, famously germophobic and meticulous in his habits. He avoided shaking hands and was deeply concerned with cleanliness throughout his life. As a scientist who understood biological systems, he viewed the human body with the same precise wonder he brought to electrical engineering — a complex mechanism deserving rigorous care and respect.
Tesla lived through the late 1800s and early 1900s, when germ theory was newly established and public health crises like tuberculosis, cholera, and typhoid killed millions. Sanitation reform was a major civic movement. Understanding that uncleanliness caused disease was revolutionary, not obvious — Tesla's emphasis on hygiene reflected cutting-edge scientific thinking as modern medicine was just transforming public consciousness.
