More quotes by Georges St-Pierre
Make sure your approach is consistent and steady so that you can maintain the progress you're making as your journey continues.
Georges St-Pierre
It's easy to talk, it's harder to fight.
Georges St-Pierre
People often say, 'Ah, ultimate fighting is so violent,' but it's rooted in martial arts. Martial arts incarnate respect. You can't walk into a dojo and say to your sensei, 'Hey, salut tabarnac!' After every one of my fights I go and shake the hand of my opponent. I don't need to hate the other fighter to fight him well. It's a sport.
Georges St-Pierre
Innovation, born from true creativity, depends on movement.
Georges St-Pierre
Thanks to his willingness to face me, my life takes shape, my path evolves.
Georges St-Pierre
I'm the kind of guy who only makes a mistake once, never twice.
Georges St-Pierre
I try to protect my loved ones, the people I share my life with, because they don't have a public life like me. I want to keep their lives private out of respect for them.
Georges St-Pierre
Fear is the genesis of most of the good things that have occurred in my life. Fear is the beginning of every success I've lived.
Georges St-Pierre
I see the world as a knowledge hardware story, and every day I'm just walking through the aisles.
Georges St-Pierre
If you want to be a proud person, then you want to avenge your loss. For me it was [Josean] Serra and [Joe] Hughes, and for Michael Bisping, Henderson is one of his losses - one of his most painful losses. So I understand why he wants to avenge it. As an athlete I understand.
Georges St-Pierre
Nick Diaz is a champion so he's got the spirit that comes with it. So he's not going to give up mentally. You see a lot of guys give up mentally and that's why they get knocked out or submitted. They give up mentally before they lose.
Georges St-Pierre
If you look good, you feel good, and if you feel good, you do good.
Georges St-Pierre
Training to become champion is the toughest thing. The fight itself is just a test.
Georges St-Pierre
Think about climbing a mountain. If you decide you're going up Everest, you don't start with a sprint. You'll never make it out of base camp if you do that. The secret is two fold: make sure your approach is consistent and steady so that you can maintain the progress you're making as your journey continues.
Georges St-Pierre
Innovation is very important to me, especially professionally. The alternative, standing pat, leads to complacency, rigidity and eventually failure.
Georges St-Pierre
I was a big fan of Jean-Claude Van-Damme growing up, and I always wanted to be a martial artist 'cause of him.
Georges St-Pierre
If I come back and I lose, at least I know I did everything I should have done, I have no regrets, I'll be happy. I can die happy.
Georges St-Pierre
Kyokoshin I've done most, but I competed in Sports Karate also, that's my style that I come from, and mixed with the wrestling that's how I got the takedowns.
Georges St-Pierre
No two journeys are alike. Nobody can pretend to know the journey another person takes to achieve his dreams.
Georges St-Pierre
Before each one of my fights, I make a point of saluting my opponent. I salute the other fighter out of respect, even though he is trying to take something from me.
Georges St-Pierre
