No one can call himself pure unless he has met and overcome the evils and temptations that beset his path, and subdued and turned to nobler channels the passions with which he is born.

Purity and impurity depend on oneself. No one can purify another. 
Buddha.

Not to do any evils, to accomplish good, to purify one's own mind - this is the teaching of the enlightened. 
Buddha. 

Misconduct is impurity in a woman, stinginess is impurity in a donor, evil ways are impurities in this world and the beyond.  Even more impure than these impurities is ignorance, the supreme impurity. Casting this impurity away, be undefiled. 
Buddha. 

Life is easy to live for the shameless, for the impudent, for the spoiler, for the braggart, for the reckless, for the impure.  But life is hard to live for the modest, always seeking purity, for the independent ,for the circumspect for the seer who lives in purity. 
Buddha. 

This is the gist of all worship: to be pure in heart and to do good to others.

You are not to become pure; you are pure already.. 
You are not to become perfect; you are that already. 
Swami Vivekananda
To be pure, what does it mean? One is truly perfectly pure only when the whole being, in all its elements and all its movements, adheres fully, exclusively to the Divine Will. 
The Mother (Mirra). 

There is no greater peace than that of a pure mind 
The Mother (Mirra)
