A garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them.
Liberty Hyde Bailey
Concentrated power is not rendered harmless by the good intentions of those who create it.
Milton Friedman
Good intentions are not enough. They've never put an onion in the soup yet.
Sonya Levien
Hell isn't merely paved with good intentions; it's walled and roofed with them. Yes, and furnished too.
Aldous Huxley
I think we're entering a very dangerous time. The West has set itself up, decided it's in charge, not for good intentions, not for the benefit of mankind.
Thom Yorke
I'm delirious with joy. It proves that if you confront the universe with good intentions in your heart, it will reflect that and reward your intent. Usually. It just doesn't always do it in the way you expect.
J. Michael Straczynski
I'm very skeptical about the good intentions of Milosevic.
Warren Christopher

Jim Goad
No one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions; he had money as well.

Zach Wamp
One lives with so many bad deeds on one's conscience and some good intentions in one's heart.
John Dewey
Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.
Peter Drucker
The evil that is in the world almost always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence if they lack understanding.
Albert Camus
The object of most prayers is to wangle an advance on good intentions.
Robert Brault
The Senate is a place filled with goodwill and good intentions, and if the road to hell is paved with them, then it's a pretty good detour.
