I feel like I know it is from my heart and God knows it is for a good cause, it is not necessary to be made public.
Refined policy ever has been the parent of confusion, and ever will be so as long as the world endures. Plain good intention, which is as easily discovered at the first view as fraud is surely detected at last, is of no mean force in the government of mankind.
The most important thing, to me is the intention of where things come from, like, why did you use it? What were the intentions of what you did? And if the intention is good, the intention is pure, then everything will turn out good.
We call an intention good which is right in itself, but the action is good, not because it contains within it some good, but because it issues from a good intention.
No matter how brilliant an action, it should not be considered great unless it was the result of a great motive.
The consciousness of good intention is the greatest solace of misfortunes.
The great Tibetan meditator Gungtang Jampelyang once asked 'What is the difference between a wise man and a fool?' The difference lies in their intention. A wise person is someone who has a good intention, not someone who merely possesses knowledge.
It is of unspeakable advantage to possess our minds with an habitual good intention, and to aim all our thoughts, words, and actions at some laudable end.
It is a governing principle of nature, that the agency which can produce most good, when perverted from its proper aim, is most productive of evil.
Holiness is not merely a feeling, state of mind, or good intention. It involves practical separation from sin and real separation unto God.
My question is, do you believe in an evil possessed of its own purity? or does every act intend some good?
