“But best behavior, admirable as its intentions may be, was never meant to last.”

“It was never my intention to cause you pain. Whether you feel strongly or very little, that does not excuse thoughtless behavior." - Adam”

“Growing up means learning to dig beneath surface behavior and discern the true motives of others, and to respond to intent, not behavior.”

“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.”

“We judge others by their behavior. We judge ourselves by our intentions”

“Despite the best of intentions, people create rules variously and often in reaction to behaviors deemed unacceptable to the larger goals of the group. That is why we often find ourselves revising the rules when new conditions reveal their loopholes.”
