More quotes by Jon Foreman
Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love another.
Jon Foreman
Nothing stays together without a fight.
Jon Foreman
As far as when I'm writing a song, I think I'm writing first and foremost for myself.
Jon Foreman
For me, the good songs are the ones that come really naturally. There are certain songs that you rework and rewrite and the craft becomes very evident, but a lot of times those aren't my favorite songs. The favorite songs are the ones that I can't even hear my own voice in.
Jon Foreman
I'm not really one to be on camera, I'd rather be writing songs.
Jon Foreman
We were meant to live for so much more.
Jon Foreman
I want to be a compassionate soul, finding worth and beauty in the worlds around me and within me, attempting to sing a transcendent tune with my temporal position in this life.
Jon Foreman
I am often tempted to think of success in terms that are defined by others: records sold, popularity gained, album reviews, etc. These are impossible demands, however, and they can never be satisfied. Letting finite others define our worth is a horrible way to live. Only the Infinite Other [God] has the authority to do this.
Jon Foreman
Well, the funny thing is, you are never the same person that you were the day before.
Jon Foreman
Inside all of us, we know the truth of life that there's something more than the next new cell phone or gadget or relationship and that our heart beats in time with the sunset.
Jon Foreman
Life is a battlefield. I don't have enough time on the planet to play games.
Jon Foreman
Maybe truth is not something that I can possess. Maybe truth is something which possesses me.
Jon Foreman
I've always been fascinated with the strong emotional ties that music can have. A song can bring you back to a place or a season of life like no other art form can.
Jon Foreman
My dying planet needs to see what the body of Christ looks like.
Jon Foreman
I try to write songs just for the song itself. I don't try and think about where it's going to end up, that way you're writing for the good of the song.
Jon Foreman
Music is a handshake where I, as a songwriter, am only part of the equation. I love that, the fact that you can make the song your own.
Jon Foreman
It’s a good thing my parents named me Jon because that’s what everyone calls me.
Jon Foreman
Every day of your life, you change the world. Absolutely, yes, we're out to change the world. I mean, you change it whether you like it or not. You wake up and you talk to the grocer. You either kick your dog or you pet him. There's a million decisions you have every day where you change the world.
Jon Foreman
Hope is not something you can just place in your back pocket or put your fingers around – it’s the belief in a world that has yet to exist.
Jon Foreman
What you do with your life is ascribing more to what you invest your time in. If you spend a lot of time on your phone, you're ascribing more worship to that. Anything can become, by that definition, some form of idol or deity or ultimate worth in your life.
