I've always liked fast cars and slow women.
Jack LaLanne
My wife is my protector. Without her, I'm nothing. She wants to please me, and I want to please her. We've been together over 53 years.

You only live once, why be miserable? Fat people are miserable -- you are carrying 50 lbs on your shoulders all day, you get a disease called pooped-out itis. Don't tell me that they are happy with the way they look and feel. I have to be honest, that is all I have.
Jack LaLanne
If man makes it, I don't eat it!
Jack LaLanne
The secret to a long and healthy marriage is to work at it and don't try and change each other.

How do you build up your bank account? By putting something in it everyday.Your health account is no different. What I do today, I am wearing tomorrow. If I put inferior foods in my body today, I'm going to be inferior tomorrow, it's that simple.
Jack LaLanne
I'd rather take a beating sometimes than get in that gym every morning. Anyone who gets up that early and says he likes it is a goddamned liar. The only good thing about it is that when I'm finished, I look at myself in the mirror and say, Jack, you've done it again!
Jack LaLanne

I'd rather see you drink a glass of wine than a glass of milk. So many people drink Coca-Cola and all these soft drinks with sugar. Some of these drinks have 8 or 9 teaspoons of sugar in them What's the good of living if you can't have the things that give a little enjoyment?
Jack LaLanne
Your age is the sum total of your physical condition, the condition of your mind, and how you feel.
Jack LaLanne
You should be proud of what you're doing, but not conceited. If you can't be proud of yourself, you're a failure. And discipline. To do anything in life you have to have discipline. To accomplish anything, you have a goal, challenge yourself, and work until you accomplish that goal. Practice what you preach.
Jack LaLanne
It's survival of the fittest. You can't have everything perfect, that's impossible, but the fit survive. The fit can handle the impurities in the air and in the water, but the poor people who are sick, it really affects them more.
Jack LaLanne
Go on, have a glass of wine with dinner. What is wine, anyway? Pure grapes. A glass of wine is much better for you than a Coke.
Jack LaLanne
All athletes would be better if they eat better. Junk in equals Junk out.
Jack LaLanne
Focus on your problem zones, your strength, your energy, your flexibility and all the rest. Maybe your chest is flabby or your hips or waist need toning. Also, you should change your program every thirty days. That's the key.
Jack LaLanne
Never get satisfied. The minute you stop trying, you go downhill.
Jack LaLanne
I'm a believer in routine. I like to see people work out at the same time each day.
Jack LaLanne
If you're tired and pooped out all the time, do you have love and compassion in your heart for your fellow man? You don't even like yourself!
Jack LaLanne
