If we spend our time obsessing with the future or regretting the past, then we will never live. Tomorrow will always be tomorrow and yesterday cannot be changed.

More quotes by Jon Foreman
It’s a good thing my parents named me Jon because that’s what everyone calls me.
Jon Foreman
There are certain songs that I like to listen to at certain times of the day. For example, first thing in the morning I love listening to Flamenco Sketches off of Miles Davis' Kind of Blue.
Jon Foreman
Information has become king, whereas wisdom should be king and there is a big difference between the two.
Jon Foreman
Stars looking at our planet, watching entropy and pain and maybe startin' to wonder how the chaos in our lives could pass as sane. I've been thinkin' 'bout the meaning of resistance of a world beyond our own and suddenly the infinite and penitent began to look like home.

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.
Jon Foreman
Let me know that you hear me, let me know Your touch, let me know that You love me, and let that be enough

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.

Live rather than talk. Talk is cheap and the tabloids scream about it every day.

I think that's the beauty of live music - creating from the destruction.

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
Life is a battlefield. I don't have enough time on the planet to play games.
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
Life tears at us and scars us as children so we adopt facades and masks to hide this part of us, to keep this sacred part of ourselves from the pain.
Jon Foreman
Maybe truth is not something that I can possess. Maybe truth is something which possesses me.
Jon Foreman
You wake up, you wake up, another day, you wake up, you wake up, traffic still moving at the same speed, our eyes looking at the same speed, our minds thinking at the same speed, I wanna see movement, I wanna see change. I wanna wake up for real. I wanna wake up. I wanna wake up. We were meant to live.
Jon Foreman
I think despair and cynicism are two different things. On the flip side of hope is despair. Belief and doubt are the same thing, in that to believe something you have to actively doubt the opposite. And from my perspective, that's the deep end. You're dealing with the unknown you're dealing with mystery.

I began thinking about the idea of a 24 hour concert. What if you tied songs to certain hours of the day - creating a 24 hour world of lyric and melody. So that was the inspiration for this project.
Jon Foreman
If you truly love someone, you're going to be pure because true love comes from God, and God tells us to remain pure. That's good enough for me.
Jon Foreman
If comparison is the thief of joy, then our culture is being robbed blind.

Calling has this weight that somehow we think that your calling is fixed. That your calling is this line that you’ve finally found and now you're on that track and that’s what you’re gonna do forever and maybe that's the case. But I feel like calling has much more to to do with the moment that you’re in.
