Will was not without his intentions to be always generous, but our tongues are little triggers which have usually been pulled before general intentions can be brought to bear.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the power of our words and how they often act as instant triggers, overshadowing our good intentions. It suggests that although Will may have had the intention to be generous, our impulsive reactions and the rapidity of our speech often prevent us from acting in accordance with our intentions. In essence, it serves as a reminder of the importance of thinking before speaking in order to align our words with our true intentions.
