Institutions mistake good intentions for objectives. They say health care; that's an intention, not an objective.
Peter Drucker
A good intention clothes itself with power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Intention is the core of all conscious life. Conscious intention colors and moves everything.
Master Hsing Yun
Life does not obey our expectations. Life obeys our intentions, in ways we may not expect.
Lloyd Strom
Hell is paved with good intention, not with bad ones. All men mean well.
George Bernard Shaw
Our repeated failure to fully act as we would wish must not discourage us. It is the sincere intention that is the essential thing, and this will in time release us from the bondage of habits which at present seem almost insurmountable.
Thomas Troward
A good traveler has no fixed plans, and no intention of arriving.
Lao Tzu
The most important distinction between aggression and assertion is the intention. During assertion, we move ourselves toward another; during aggression, we move ourselves against another.
Georgia Lanoil
We call an intention good which is right in itself, but the action is good, not because it contains within it some good, but because it issues from a good intention.
Peter Abelard
Choose your intention carefully and then practice holding your consciousness to it, so it becomes the guiding light in your life.
John Roger
