My fear delivered one of the great lessons of my life: That someone without fear can’t push himself. He can’t get better. He can’t transform negatives into positives. He can’t open his world to creativity and invention, or even progress.
Georges St-Pierre
Always pursue your dreams and work hard at it.
Georges St-Pierre
I had two ACL injuries in my life, and both of them happened when I was training with bigger guys a heavyweight and a light heavyweight. Sometimes it's not even because the guy is good, you just get hurt.

Georges St-Pierre
Because Conor McGregor is so confident - he goes there 'I'll beat this, I will do that' - If I would be his coach I will tell him all the time, behind closed doors, how dangerous [Nate] Diaz is and how much of a war this fight will be and how painful, and long, and uncomfortable it would be, and to get prepared for the worst day of his life.
Georges St-Pierre
If you look good, you feel good, and if you feel good, you do good.
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
It's easy to talk, it's harder to fight.
Georges St-Pierre
I am very honored and excited to be part of UFC 100, it's going to be the hardest challenge of my career so far and it's going to be pretty tough, I can't wait.
Georges St-Pierre
There's no honour fighting in the street, there is nothing to gain.
Georges St-Pierre
People have mistaken my break, I took a break from competition, it was because of mental problems, and because I was not agreeing with Performance Enhancing Drugs. I put the things on pause for a while, but I didn't retire.
Georges St-Pierre
Innovation keeps me ahead of my competition. It means that my foes must adapt to me, not the other way around.
