The old lady may have meant well by you, but unless a thing's down in black and white, intentions don't go for much!
So many things had gone into making all the good intentions go horribly wrong.
But the minute I see him, all my good intentions go to hell.
Their eyes met, and all their good intentions went for nothing.
"Is there any intention to go back to Chicago?"
It seemed as if good intentions went for nothing in this world.
And until we do that, all the good intentions aren't going to change things in the neighborhoods.
Early last Sunday, those high hopes and good intentions went up in flames.
That's because it's a condition in which the best intentions go awry.
But what if your best intentions as God go wrong?
