“Carelessness, when it's continual, is as bad as intentional jerkiness.”
“A purpose, an intention, a design, strikes everywhere even the careless, the most stupid thinker.”
“There are no bad words. Bad thoughts. Bad intentions, and wooooords.”
“I could not unlove him, because I felt sure he would soon marry this very lady-because I read daily in her a proud security in his intentions respecting her-because I witnessed hourly in him a style of courtship which, if careless and choosing rather to be sought than to seek, was yet, in its very carelessness, captivating, and in its very pride, irresistible.”
“Bad decisions made with good intentions, are still bad decisions.”
“Intention, good or bad, is not enough.”
