I'm training all the time. My goal is perfection. But I will never reach perfection.
Georges St-Pierre
When you prepare a list of improvements and you make them small and achievable, you won't just stick to then, you'll increase the chances that you'll keep moving forward.
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
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
Seeking knowledge is like opening doors. And I know the doors are everywhere.
Georges St-Pierre
I don't want things that I regret in life, and things that I have not done - and I don't want to at 80 years wake up, and tell myself: 'Oh I was on top of my shape and skills and I didn't do it.'
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
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
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
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
Everyone in life faces obstacles. That's what made me who I am. I don't regret to have been bullied because probably if I would not have faced those obstacles I would not have been the man that I am. It make my stronger in a way and it helped me to forge the person that I am right now.
Georges St-Pierre
Respect is the most important thing. Be respectful toward others and have respect for yourself.
Georges St-Pierre
Once I got over my anger and rage from childhood, once I stopped feeling like a victim, I was able to open myself to great sources of learning.
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
I'm not impressed by your performance.
Georges St-Pierre
It's bizarre, a punch in the face hurts less when you win than when you lose.
Georges St-Pierre
I am a public person and I have my private life. It's important for me that my private life stay private, that what I share with the people is my public personality.
Georges St-Pierre
I will never blame a fighter if he doesn't fight me because he takes care of his own interest first, and prioritize the interests of his family first, that's completely normal.
Georges St-Pierre
The goal is to avoid mediocrity by being prepared to try something and either failing miserably or triumphing grandly.
Georges St-Pierre
Thanks to his willingness to face me, my life takes shape, my path evolves.
