More quotes by Jack LaLanne

Jack LaLanne
Forget about what you used to do. Don't make those same mistakes again. Everybody says, Oh the good old days - the good old days are right this second! This moment controls the next moment.

The hell what you USED to do! It's what you're doing NOW and what you're GOING to do.

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.
