Quotes About Intents

The time and my intents are savage-wild,More fierce and more inexorable farThan empty tigers or the roaring sea.
~ William Shakespeare
Because the physical conduits that permit and transmit those memories have been altered. Physically rearranged to the point where they no longer function as they once did. For all intents and purposes, they've been destroyed.
~ Robert Ludlum

~ John Eldredge
Which is a pity, because at that last moment I'd have liked to tell him what I thought of him. Mind you, since in that split second we were, to all intents and purposes, one and the same, I rather think he knew anyway.

Heaven is what you mix all the days of your life, but you call it dreams. You have one chance to buy your Heaven with all the intents and ethics of your life. That is why everyone considers Heaven such a lovely place. Because it is dreams, special dreams, in which you exist. What you have to do is live up to them.
~ Harlan Ellison
all intents and purposes is colourless, redundant and hackneyed. Almost any other expression would be an improvement. 'He is, to all intents and purposes, king of the island' (Mail on Sunday) would be instantly made better by changing the central phrase to 'in effect' or removing it altogether. If the phrase must be used at all, it can always be shorn of the last two words. 'To all intents' says as much as 'to all intents and purposes'.
~ Bill Bryson
that the creature I loved was lying somewhere in a hole underground, to all intents and purposes dead until dark.
~ Charlaine Harris
Believe and trust; through stars and suns, Through life and death, through soul and sense, His wise, paternal purpose runs; The darkness of His Providence Is starlit with Divine intents.
~ L.B. Cowman
The anger of the LORD will not turn back until he has executed and accomplished the intents of his mind.
~ Jeremiah
Time, whose millioned accidents creep in betwixt vows, and change decrees of kings, tan sacred beauty, blunt the sharpest intents, divert strong minds to the course of altering things.
~ William Shakespeare
You create your own game in your mind based on your beliefs, intents, perception and rules.
~ Unknown
Faith always comes to the surface and always produces action. It cannot be contained. Thoughts and intents that are held within and not acted upon are not faith, no matter what we like to say. ("My faith is personal" is a favorite. But that is a self-contradicting statement. Faith is always acted out, never kept bottled up within.)
~ Unknown
