Good intentions aren't enough. People have good intentions when they set a goal to do something, but then they miss a deadline or other milestone.

Harvey Mackay

Give up salt, give up sugar, give up spices, give up vegetables, give up chutnies, give up tamarind. Serve Bhangis, serve rogues, serve inferiors, remove faecal matter. Do not revenge, resist not evil, return good for evil, bear insult and injury. Forget like a child any injury done by somebody immediately. Never keep it in the heart. It kindles hatred.

Sivananda

I just never, ever want to give up. Most battles are won in the 11th hour, and most people give up. If you give up once, it's quite hard. If you give up a second time, it's a little bit easier. Give up a third time, it's starting to become a habit.

Lewis Gordon Pugh

Never blame anyone in your life. Good people give you happiness. Bad people give you experience. Worst people give you a lesson. And best people give you memories.

Zig Ziglar

I may have had good reasons. I may have had the best of intentions. But intentions aren’t enough, no matter how good they are. Intentions can lead you to a place where you’re able to make a choice. It’s the choice that counts.

Jim Butcher

Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never -- in nothing, great or small, large or petty -- never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense.

Winston Churchill

Good intentions have been the ruin of the world. The only people who have achieved anything have been those who have had no intentions at all.

Oscar Wilde

When we were young, they always teach you that you can never give up. It doesn't matter what has happened: you cannot give up. Sometimes it is good, sometimes that is not good. But still, you try.

Dusan Tadic

I'm not a moral relativist, I do think at the end of the day there's right and wrong, there's good intentions, and then there's bad paths that you can go on even if you have good intentions and we believe that.

Aaron Ehasz

You can ask the people around me. I don't give up. I don't give up. I don't give - and it's not out of frustration and desperation that I say I don't give up. I don't give up because I don't give up. I don't believe in it.

Johnny Cash

I will overlook bad behavior if I know that people's intentions are good. I have this belief that people really can do good things and that people want to be good.

Elizabeth Mitchell

When I go out with my friends, if people come up to me, everyone has good intentions and means well.

Juan Martin del Potro

Whether the Republicans intentions are good or evil - I pretty much assume that they're evil - but no matter what, man, when the people in charge make giant mistakes, everyone suffers. Even if they do have good intentions, when you make giant mistakes, it's a bad thing.

Aaron McGruder

I have a low tolerance for people who complain about things but never do anything to change them. This led me to conclude that the single largest pool of untapped natural resources in this world is human good intentions that are never translated into actions.

Cindy Gallop

Never give up on a good thing, never give up, never give up!

George Benson

The teaching on karma starts with the principle that people experience happiness and sorrow based on a combination of their past and present intentions. If we act with unskillful intentions either for ourselves or for others, we’re going to suffer. If we act with skillful intentions, we’ll experience happiness. So if we want to be happy, we have to train our intentions to always be skillful.
