If you prepare your subconscious for highly stressful situations, you can create harmony with your fears. You can tame fear like a wild animal and use it to your advantage.
Georges St-Pierre
It's not always the best team that wins the game it's the team that plays better.

One of the important lessons I learned from my parents is always to respect authority figures like teachers.
Georges St-Pierre
Fear can be a natural ally, a homemade power source... Staying in the present, fear can only help you.
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
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
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
Respect is the most important thing. Be respectful toward others and have respect for yourself.
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
One of the lessons I learned in all those years practicing karate is that progress only comes in small incremental portions.
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
The goal is to avoid mediocrity by being prepared to try something and either failing miserably or triumphing grandly.
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
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
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 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
Respect your opponent, just make them respect you more.
Georges St-Pierre
I’m a martial artist, and I don’t train because I have a fight I train because it’s my lifestyle, and I’ll train every day if I’m not hurt.
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
Always pursue your dreams and work hard at it.
Georges St-Pierre
