More quotes by Georges St-Pierre
It's not always the strong that survive. It takes brains, guts, tolerance and forward thinking.
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 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
A fight is 10% physical and 90% mental.
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'm not impressed by your performance.
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
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
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
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
One of the lessons I learned in all those years practicing karate is that progress only comes in small incremental portions.
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
I bow to my opponent in praise and thanks. After the fight is a time for humility, acceptance and analysis, no matter the result.
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
In fighting, in evolution, in life, efficiency is the key.
Georges St-Pierre
Training to become champion is the toughest thing. The fight itself is just a test.
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.
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
Power is different when you combined it with wisdom. Wisdom allows you to use less power to accomplish more tasks.
Georges St-Pierre
