More quotes by Georges St-Pierre
I'm the kind of guy who only makes a mistake once, never twice.
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
One of my favorite Japanese proverbs is Fall down 7 times, stand up 8.
Georges St-Pierre
Don't be afraid to spend money to make money. That's one thing I've never been afraid of... to invest in myself.
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
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
I think it makes your stronger to admit that you're scared, because you're not scared to say that you're scared.
Georges St-Pierre
I’m a martial artist, and I don’t train because I have a fight I train because it’s my lifestyle, and I’ll train every day if I’m not hurt.
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
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
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
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
Innovation keeps me ahead of my competition. It means that my foes must adapt to me, not the other way around.
Georges St-Pierre
I will never take the fact that I am Welterweight Champion for granted. I learnt my mistake in the past. No matter how great, no matter how people tell me how great I am, I'm always one mistake away from losing everything.
Georges St-Pierre
One of the important lessons I learned from my parents is always to respect authority figures like teachers.
Georges St-Pierre
It's easy to talk, it's harder to fight.
Georges St-Pierre
I'm a shy guy... I don't enjoy being bothered but I never say no to a fan. I say yes to everybody... even though sometimes you have some days where you don't feel like it, but it's your duty as athlete to do it. Because the fans that pay it's going to make you live, so you have to do it. So I force myself to do it all the time.
Georges St-Pierre
One of the lessons I learned in all those years practicing karate is that progress only comes in small incremental portions.
Georges St-Pierre
Power is different when you combined it with wisdom. Wisdom allows you to use less power to accomplish more tasks.
Georges St-Pierre
It's bizarre, a punch in the face hurts less when you win than when you lose.
Georges St-Pierre
