Power is different when you combined it with wisdom. Wisdom allows you to use less power to accomplish more tasks.

There's no honour fighting in the street, there is nothing to gain.

I want to use every second of my life, every time that I have in my life, to make me a better fighter. That's why I'm a martial artist. For me, it's more than a job - it's a way of living
Georges St-Pierre -
The real test is this one: When you're alone in a room, when you're in a private place and nobody else can see you, what do you choose to do? Eat well, or eat poorly? Exercise, or watch television? Practice something, or do nothing? The best version of the truth appears to you and you alone, when nobody else can see. This is the test of discipline, and it's what makes the difference in your life. It's what regulates your own system and guides it. The individual alone comprehends it.

Training to become champion is the toughest thing. The fight itself is just a test.
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.
Georges St-Pierre -
That's the way to go. People say: 'Oh, he doesn't want to come back, he's scared,' and it's to play with your brain, to play with your mind. I'm not scared of nobody. I'm not scared of no human being. I'm scared to fight, every time I fight I'm scared, but I'll bite into my mouthpiece and I'll walk the walk.

For me there is no reason why to go up in weight class, because when you go up in weight class you have to fight bigger guys - then you have to train against bigger guys. The guys are not better, they're heavier, but it means you have more chance to get hurt.

You can spend your life watching other people win or beat your name into history.

Always pursue your dreams and work hard at it.

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 -
I'm always at my best when I'm fighting a guy who insults me..questions my integrity; it lights more fire in me.

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 -
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.

Humility is the first rule of martial arts. Either you learn humility quickly, or you leave because your ego can't handle losing repeatedly.
Georges St-Pierre -
It all comes down to confidence: your body can do great things only if it believes it can accomplish them.
Georges St-Pierre -
Innovation, born from true creativity, depends on movement.

Dana White came out very often in public saying I'm this and that; I'm sure it's also to play with my ego, to make me, for example, come out of retirement and say 'Oh ok, I'll fight for peanuts.' No, I'm not like that. I know the game.
Georges St-Pierre -
It's not always the best team that wins the game it's the team that plays better.
Georges St-Pierre -
I can choose whoever I want, in MMA things change very rapidly, sometimes you don't know what'll happen and there's a guy that upsets everybody. I could fight who the fans would like me to fight the most. For me that's important.

I went to Jerusalem, the dead sea, it was just amazing. Because what we see in the TV, I'm sorry to say it, I don't want to insult nobody, but a lot of the image that we see from the middle east in Canada - It's sad to say but it's always bad stuff. I was thinking coming here it would be a lot of military, security, everybody would be a little more on the edge, but I see it's amazing. It feels a little bit similar to Miami.

Some people learn to lose. Others lose and learn.

I'm so busy during my everyday, when I go on vacation I need to pull the plug like they say, and to do nothing.
Georges St-Pierre -
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.
