More quotes by 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
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
A system that works for one person won't be perfect for another... Individuality is a major part of expanding knowledge.
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
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
No two journeys are alike. Nobody can pretend to know the journey another person takes to achieve his dreams.
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
My goal is to share all my learning, all of my knowledge, so that other generations of martial arts will benefit.
Georges St-Pierre
What happens when you accept and embrace your fear? Fear becomes your weapon.
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
Thanks to his willingness to face me, my life takes shape, my path evolves.
Georges St-Pierre
Training to become champion is the toughest thing. The fight itself is just a test.
Georges St-Pierre
I was a big fan of Jean-Claude Van-Damme growing up, and I always wanted to be a martial artist 'cause of him.
Georges St-Pierre
Fights aren't won in the octagon, they're won in the months leading up to them, in a near-empty gym, in the lost hours of a day, whether I feel like it or not.
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
A fight is 10% physical and 90% mental.
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
I'm the kind of guy who only makes a mistake once, never twice.
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
Nothing really frustrates me to the point of hatred. It's not the worth the energy.
