More quotes by 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
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
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
When I go on vacation I just like to do nothing - just hang out at the beach, go eat the best restaurants, and do nothing.
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
What happens when you accept and embrace your fear? Fear becomes your weapon.
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
A guy that has more knowledge has the advantage.
Georges St-Pierre
A fight is 10% physical and 90% mental.
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
I don't want to be an exception, because I was very outspoken about Performance Enhancing Drugs. It would be bad for my reputation if I would have an exemption [for doping test] - I don't want to have a free pass, I want to be like everybody else.
Georges St-Pierre
Humility is the first rule of martial arts. Either you learn humility quickly, or you leave because your ego can't handle losing repeatedly.
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
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
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, born from true creativity, depends on movement.
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'm not impressed by your performance.
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
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
