A parent's best intentions are no substitute for attention.
People with good intentions never give up!
Remember, people will judge you by your actions not your intentions. You may have a heart of gold but so does a hard-boiled egg.
People in my inner circle of loved ones - we're tight and I've never misjudged someone as far as I know; I can feel someone's intentions, I know their intentions before they probably are honest enough with themselves to know it, so that's my strength.
. . . humans are not defined by their limitations, but by the intentions that I have for them; not by what they seem to be, but by everything it means to be created in my image.
Good intentions are impotent unless based on reality.
It's not intentions that matter. It's actions. We are what we do and say, not what we intend to.
Liberals get credit for good intentions, and that's about it, because everything they do fails.
We judge ourselves by our intentions. And others by their actions.
God is able to transform the hostile intentions of wicked people into blessings for His people.
Apparently there are not a whole lot of people there that have confidence. They are willing, apparently, to believe that Donald Trump's been lying to 'em all along, while, if you want to characterize it this way, how many years have they been lying to voters about their intentions on repealing and replacing Obamacare?
Institutions mistake good intentions for objectives. They say "health care"; that's an intention, not an objective.
I hurt myself deeply, though at the time I had no idea how deeply. I should have learned many things from that experience, but when I look back on it, all I gained was one single, undeniable fact. That ultimately I am a person who can do evil. I never consciously tried to hurt anyone, yet good intentions notwithstanding, when necessity demanded, I could become completely self-centred, even cruel. I was the kind of person who could, using some plausible excuse, inflict on a person I cared for a wound that would never heal.
Now I don't have to explain to the world about India's position. The world is unanimously appreciating India's position. And the world is seeing that Pakistan is finding it difficult to respond. If we had become an obstacle, then we would have had to explain to the world that we are not that obstacle. Now we don't have to explain to the world. The world knows our intentions. Like on the issue of terrorism, the world never bought India's theory on terrorism. They would sometime dismiss it by saying that it's your law and order problem.
. . . love always betrays its intentions.
Man considers the actions, but God weighs the intentions.
INTENTIONS - ACTION = SQUAT
The first step of any communication is honest & consistent intentions, after this, even if you don't communicate, people will listen, hear & align
My intentions go one way, my desires another. Thus I feel both self-indulgent and deprived.
The contrast couldn't be clearer between the intentions and the hearts of those of us who care deeply about human rights and human liberty and those who kill. [on the terrorist bombings in London, July 7, 2005
