Going to hell or heaven has got nuffin on intentions. If you go by the bible, as long as you are a Christian, you go to heaven. If not, then you go to hell.

Uh, we don't think that. Heh sounds kinda extraordinary. God supplies us credit for sturdy intentions. And what can we get for appearing on the point? God counts it as 10 sturdy deeds. And if we've a bad purpose, that would not count selection for something. And if we act on the undesirable purpose? It counts as a million undesirable deed. you are able to't get a deal like that at Kroger, no longer regardless of coupons.

"The road to Hell is paved with good intentions."
-Karl Marx
I believe Marx may have derived from this quote from Shakespeare's Hamlet:
Do not, as some ungracious pastors do,
Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven,
Whiles, like a puffed and reckless libertine,
Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads
And recks not his own rede.
William Shakespeare (1564-1616) Hamlet

I prefer Hemingway's version: "The road to hell is paved with unbought stuffed dogs" -The Sun Also Rises

I don't know who said it but it's so true, isn't it. All the good things we were going to do but didn't get round to doing still remain undone. So, although our INTENTIONS were good, we didn't actually do it so there is no redeeming quality in that. Intentions are not actions.

Merely intending to do good, without actually doing it, is of no value

I'm pretty sure about the writer but no idea about the context
