The chief difference between words and deeds is that words are always intended for men for their approbation, but deeds can be done only for God.
When you go to a show on opening night, or even the second performance, it is at the very beginning of what it will become. By the end of this run, the show will actually be what it is intended to be.
Being a fat kid – FFK, former fat kid – helped round me out, no pun intended. I’m a better adult because I wasn’t treated well as a child.
The President today once again took the opportunity to reiterate his old, failed national security strategies and present them to the American people as new, dynamic ideas intended to better protect the American people.
Actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness; wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness. By happiness is intended pleasure and the absence of pain.
Always say ‘no pun intended’ to draw attention to the intended pun.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.
We never thought it would be something everyone would listen to. We never thought people who listen to Britney Spears would run to listen to it. It was intended for people on the fanatical side of production and hi-fi.
The Rooney Rule is intended to give minorities an opportunity to sit down in front of ownership, but I think what it’s turned into is an instance where guys are just checking the box. That’s been the case. I’ve been on some interviews in the past where I’ve had that feeling.
The retirement timing is always a tricky thing for a dancer. I think it’s different for everyone. How you say goodbye to the thing you have really focused on that much is a tough one. I’ve always intended to leave in good shape, to exit on a high note.
The simple fact is we do not live in a democracy. Certainly not the kind our Founding Fathers intended. We live in a corporate dictatorship represented by, and beholden to, no single human being you can reason with or hold responsible for anything.
Politics is when you say you are going to do one thing while intending to do another. Then you do neither what you said nor what you intended.
These landscapes aren’t breaking news or necessarily even illegal. These are intentional, purposeful landscapes, whether to extend our cities or build a mine or put a road in or clear a forest. I’ve been photographing that which has been intended by us; it’s not an accident.
Christlike communications are expressed in tones of love rather than loudness. They are intended to be helpful rather than hurtful. They tend to bind us together rather than to drive us apart. They tend to build rather than to belittle.
‘Stargate’ has always had this empty hole. When we made the first one, we always intended on doing part two and three, and we were prevented for years. And our hope is that we can get another chance at ‘Stargate’ and tell the entire story we wanted to tell.
I never intended to be a teacher, but once I started teaching, I found that junior high kids are easy to get hooked on, and I stayed for nearly twenty years.
The principles of disruptive innovation are indeed intended to be guidelines to assist managers both in introducing disruptive innovations as well as identifying disruptive developments in their market.
I never intended to become an opposition political leader. Perhaps the government wants to raise me up into one.
I think the single most important, fascinating, and complex aspect of human nature is that we all know, deep down, that we are not what we ought to be – or as John Doe says in ‘Seven,’ ‘We are not what was intended.’
Being reminded about the incredible power of God’s love, and living as He intended, is the most powerful motivation to change.
Tithing is like training wheels when it comes to giving. It’s intended to help you get started, but not recommended for the Tour de France.
A Georgian man’s shirt had a long tail, which he tucked between his legs rather like a nappy. Over it went his ‘breech liners’, the long, linen forerunners of drawers. All of this was intended to keep his unwashable outer clothes free from the sweat and stink of his skin.
I cite in my book countless examples of the foundational documents of the colonial period in America and the writings of the leaders, that this was intended to be a Christian nation.
As for ‘Independence Day,’ we never intended to do any films in that series beyond the first one.
I definitely never intended to do a zombie movie.
We designed a car that is for daily commutes and that you charge every day. The less you use the gasoline engine, the better mpg. Essentially, the Karma can achieve dramatic savings and low CO2 output when used as intended, as a daily commuter.
Everyone who is critical of Israeli policy is deluged by crazed messages intended to flood their email system or, more insidiously, passwords are accessed and messages sent out under their name! I’m sure it’s illegal. It’s also an effort to undermine free speech.
As many times as I have done ‘Marriage of Figaro,’ I have never been able to ask Mozart what he intended in this piece.
