I'm training all the time. My goal is perfection. But I will never reach perfection.
Georges St-Pierre
With training and self discipline clear focus and confidence problems can be overcome and even lead to unexpected gains
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've trained myself to fight an army, so one guy will not defeat me.
Georges St-Pierre
Respect your opponent, just make them respect you more.
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
The only way forward in life is innovation.
Georges St-Pierre
One of my favorite Japanese proverbs is Fall down 7 times, stand up 8.
Georges St-Pierre
Once fear enters your life - it will take you in one of two directions: empowerment or panic.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
To fight a bigger guy you need to train with bigger guys and it takes a lot more on your body. And it's not your weight class.
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
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
No two journeys are alike. Nobody can pretend to know the journey another person takes to achieve his dreams.
Georges St-Pierre
