More quotes by Georges St-Pierre
One of my favorite Japanese proverbs is Fall down 7 times, stand up 8.
Georges St-Pierre
Before each one of my fights, I make a point of saluting my opponent. I salute the other fighter out of respect, even though he is trying to take something from me.
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
What happens when you accept and embrace your fear? Fear becomes your weapon.
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
I'm not impressed by your performance.
Georges St-Pierre
Respect your opponent, just make them respect you more.

Nick Diaz is a champion so he's got the spirit that comes with it. So he's not going to give up mentally. You see a lot of guys give up mentally and that's why they get knocked out or submitted. They give up mentally before they lose.
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
Training to become champion is the toughest thing. The fight itself is just a test.
Georges St-Pierre
The only way forward in life is innovation.
Georges St-Pierre
It's not always the best team that wins the game it's the team that plays better.
Georges St-Pierre
Nothing really frustrates me to the point of hatred. It's not the worth the energy.
Georges St-Pierre
My fear delivered one of the great lessons of my life: That someone without fear can’t push himself. He can’t get better. He can’t transform negatives into positives. He can’t open his world to creativity and invention, or even progress.
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
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
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
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
A guy that has more knowledge has the advantage.
Georges St-Pierre
I've trained myself to fight an army, so one guy will not defeat me.
