More quotes by 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
Hope is not a substitute for pain. Hope is in spite of pain.

The easiest thing to do is throw a rock. It's a lot harder to create a stained glass window. I used to get upset at the people who threw rocks but now I'd rather spend my time building the stained glass windows.
Jon Foreman
There’s nothing that you can sell me that can make me happy.
Jon Foreman
I wanna be a part of the generation that throws out money, throws out time, throws out all that we are against something bigger than ourselves.
Jon Foreman
As far as when I'm writing a song, I think I'm writing first and foremost for myself.
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
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.
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
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
I think surfing and music are both places of release and self expression where there are no rules, and you can find a different form of freedom that you can't anywhere else.
Jon Foreman
Sometimes it can be really hard in our fast paced society to slow ourselves down enough to begin to listen to God's voice. The dilemma exists in my position as well. To be a follower of Christ is to emulate Him. When He went off alone into the desert to pray, He was teaching a valuable lesson.
Jon Foreman
For me songs are born out of the gray space, the things I don't fully understand, the things that I can't put in my pocket.
Jon Foreman
It’s a good thing my parents named me Jon because that’s what everyone calls me.
Jon Foreman
Maybe truth is not something that I can possess. Maybe truth is something which possesses me.
