Well it is actually an old English proverb.  "Look ere ye leap" written by John Heywood in 1546.  I suppose since we don't say "ere" and "ye" anymore, it just transformed.  He is also famous for "The more the merrier" and "Haste makes waste" among others.\n\nHope that helps.  \nCheck the link below for more.

CLEANLINESS IS NEXT TO GODLINESS - "This ancient proverb is said by some to have come from ancient Hebrew writings. However, its first appearance in English - though in slightly altered form - seems to be in the writings of Francis Bacon. In his 'Advancement of Learning' (1605) he wrote: 'Cleanness of body was ever deemed to proceed from a due reverence to God.' Near two centuries later John Wesley in one of his sermons (1791) indicated that the proverb was already well known in the form we use today. Wrote Wesley: 'Slovenliness is no part of religion.'Cleanliness is indeed next to Godliness.'" From "Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins" by William and Mary Morris (HarperCollins, New York, 1977, 1988). There are a couple more details in "Random House Dictionary of Popular Proverbs and Sayings" (1996) by Gregory Y. Titelman (Random House, New York, 1996): ".According to the fourteenth edition of 'Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable,' it is an old Hebrew proverb used in the late 2nd century by Rabbi Phinehas ben-Yair. First attested in the United States in the 'Monthly Anthology and Boston Review' (1806). The proverb is found in varying forms."

I'm pretty sure that is from Proverbs... These are NIV references, so the wording may be different in another version.\n\nProverbs 21:9  "Better to live on a corner of the roof \n       than share a house with a quarrelsome wife."\n\nProverbs 21:19 "Better to live in a desert \n       than with a quarrelsome and ill-tempered wife."\n\nProverbs 25:25 "Better to live on a corner of the roof \n       than share a house with a quarrelsome wife."\n\nProverbs 17:1 "Better a dry crust with peace and quiet \n       than a house full of feasting, with strife."
