Growth is a long term game, and the crappy days are more important.
Georges St-Pierre

It's not always the best team that wins the game it's the team that plays better.
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
Don't be afraid to spend money to make money. That's one thing I've never been afraid of... to invest in myself.

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
The only way forward in life is innovation.
Georges St-Pierre
It's not always the strong that survive. It takes brains, guts, tolerance and forward thinking.
Georges St-Pierre
If you prepare your subconscious for highly stressful situations, you can create harmony with your fears. You can tame fear like a wild animal and use it to your advantage.
Georges St-Pierre
Fear can be a natural ally, a homemade power source... Staying in the present, fear can only help you.
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
Innovation keeps me ahead of my competition. It means that my foes must adapt to me, not the other way around.
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
Sometimes I'm under the impression some of the fights happen that they shouldn't happen because a guy's cheating. Also, I think when something like this happen they should have not only a suspension but also monetary wise enforce a penalty. Maybe take the purse of the fighter to the other fighter.
Georges St-Pierre
Respect is the most important thing. Be respectful toward others and have respect for yourself.
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
