Georges St-Pierre
There's no honour fighting in the street, there is nothing to gain.
Georges St-Pierre
Respect is the most important thing. Be respectful toward others and have respect for yourself.

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
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
Only way to eliminate the element of surprise is to know yourself and now your adversary.

Georges St-Pierre

Georges St-Pierre
I've trained myself to fight an army, so one guy will not defeat me.
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
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
Once fear enters your life - it will take you in one of two directions: empowerment or panic.
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
One of my favorite Japanese proverbs is Fall down 7 times, stand up 8.
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
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
Because Conor McGregor is so confident - he goes there 'I'll beat this, I will do that' - If I would be his coach I will tell him all the time, behind closed doors, how dangerous [Nate] Diaz is and how much of a war this fight will be and how painful, and long, and uncomfortable it would be, and to get prepared for the worst day of his life.
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.
