Jack LaLanne

• People don't die of heredity. They die of their habits. You can't control heredity. You can control what you eat.
• What you eat today is what you wear tomorrow.
• Take your inspiration and turn it into perspiration. That's the key.
• You don't preach to people; you have to set an example.
• We've got to get rid of celebrities selling soft drinks, cakes, pies. Why can't they sell what's good for them? Someone should tell them this.
• Physical fitness should be taught to kindergarteners.
• Kids need pride and discipline. You've got to instill it. They want it; they need it. When they do good, you praise them.
• Living is like training for an athletic event.
• What the hell good is your money (from working too much, lack of exercise) if you have arthritis and rheumatism? Can you make love to your money?
• Getting exercise is not easy. You leave a hot bed and a hot woman and go to a cold gym.
• Dying is easy. Living is a pain in the backside.
