More quotes by Jon Foreman
Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love another.
Jon Foreman
When our world falls apart and we have no more faces to wear - that’s when it’s beautiful, and that’s when we change.
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
Music will always be judged by our subjective ears.
Jon Foreman
If comparison is the thief of joy, then our culture is being robbed blind.
Jon Foreman
Well, the funny thing is, you are never the same person that you were the day before.
Jon Foreman
Why is it that everything is collapsing if gravity is pulling us together?
Jon Foreman
Live rather than talk. Talk is cheap and the tabloids scream about it every day.
Jon Foreman
Don't be discouraged, but know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance brings character, and character brings hope, and this is a hope which will not disappoint us.
Jon Foreman
There’s nothing that you can sell me that can make me happy.
Jon Foreman
Most of the time a spark of beauty or truth will start a fire of a song but fires rarely produce goodness on their own ... you need to control them and put them to work.
Jon Foreman
I look for places where there's no one out on the water. I'd rather surf a wave to myself than fight a crowd.
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.
Jon Foreman
Music is mere tuning a song with words to some degree you have a beautiful endeavor of cosigning God's blank checks and you're actually co-creating. You're certainly not the creator with the capital C, but you're embarking on an endeavor, you're using the building blocks that have been given to you by the author of time and space.
Jon Foreman
I’ve never used music to sell my faith and I’ve never used faith to sell my music. I think they are both intrinsic parts of who I am. We’ve always tried to define our music outside of genres…what is a genre? A genre’s a cage or a box and for us our music is best with fangs and some claws running free in the wild.
Jon Foreman
If you can have a couple of tight friends that you can tell things to, that you can say, 'Hey, this is what I'm struggling with,' and then pray and talk about it, then that's an incredible thing.
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 admitted under the skin without permission.
Jon Foreman
When I'm happy, when I'm enjoying life, I'm home, I'm surfing, I'm spending time with my wife, my friends and I'm not thinking about the pain. And then the moment I encounter something that feels difficult, I feel like that's when, for me, I turn to writing and thinking and maybe a song comes from that.
Jon Foreman
I usually write from my own experience, and that's definitely a true statement for me. I think having a song about desiring to live and wanting to get it right, which many of my songs do, often I have to clarify that I haven't figured it out yet.
