Respect is the most important thing. Be respectful toward others and have respect for yourself.

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.

Watching myself fight, I realize the line between success and failure is so narrow, it's scary.

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.

I'm training all the time. My goal is perfection. But I will never reach perfection.

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.

My goal is to share all my learning, all of my knowledge, so that other generations of martial arts will benefit.
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.

A guy that has more knowledge has the advantage.
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
Image
Nothing really frustrates me to the point of hatred. It's not the worth the energy.
Georges St-Pierre
Image
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
Image
It's not always the strong that survive. It takes brains, guts, tolerance and forward thinking.
Georges St-Pierre
Image
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.

I've trained myself to fight an army, so one guy will not defeat me.
Georges St-Pierre
Image
What happens when you accept and embrace your fear? Fear becomes your weapon.

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.
