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

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

It is not enough to say we must not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

It's not enough to have good intentions. If you want to be a good person, you have to make good decisions all the time and live a life that's worth living and that you can be proud of, and that's what I wanted.

Benjamin Booker

It is not a profession to be a pianist and musician. It is a philosophy, a conception of life that cannot be based on good intentions or natural talent. First and foremost there must be a spirit of sacrifice.

Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli

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

The Second Rule is that the greatest harm can result from the best intentions. It sounds a paradox, but kindness and good intentions can be an insidious path to destruction. Sometimes doing what seems right is wrong, and can cause harm. The only counter to it is knowledge, wisdom, forethought, and understanding the First Rule. Even then, that is not always enough.

Terry Goodkind

Good intentions are not enough. They've never put an onion in the soup yet.

Sonya Levien

I cannot emphasize enough how wrongheaded this is. Withholding criticism and ignoring differences are racism in its purest form. Yet these cultural experts fail to notice that, through their anxious avoidance of criticizing non-Western countries, they trap the people who represent these cultures in a state of backwardness. The experts may have the best of intentions, but as we all know, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali

The portal structure is simply a technique: it is neither necessary nor unnecessary, except as the writer and the story make it so. In the case of 'The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant,' it was absolutely necessary to my intentions.

Stephen R. Donaldson

It wasn't necessary to win for the story to be great, it was only necessary to sacrifice everything.

Donald Miller

One of my intentions with 'Rookie' is for the girls reading it to know that they are already cool enough and smart enough and pretty enough.

Tavi Gevinson

Intentions, good or bad, are not enough. There's luck or fate or something else that takes over.

John Steinbeck

It is now, more than ever, necessary that political leaders be outstanding for honesty, integrity and commitment to the common good.

Pope Francis

If we want to be better than normal we must move from good intentions to what I call God intentions.

Craig Groeschel

Our intentions attract the elements and forces, the events, the situation, the circumstances and the relationships necessary to fulfill the intended outcome. We don't need to become involved in the details-in fact, trying too hard may backfire. Let the non-local intelligence synchronize the actions of the universe to fulfill your intentions for you.

Deepak Chopra
