Summary

This quote suggests that good intentions alone are not enough to guarantee positive outcomes. It implies that while individuals may have well-meaning intentions, it is the actions and efforts put forth to fulfill those intentions that truly matter. Merely having good intentions without taking concrete steps to bring them to fruition can result in negative consequences. The quote further emphasizes that good intentions alone are insufficient, comparing it to a place of torment furnished with one's unfulfilled promises and aspirations.

These tenses--past, present and future--are not the tenses of time; they are tenses of the mind. That which is no longer before the mind becomes the past. That which is before the mind is the present. And that which is going to be before the mind is the future. Past is that which is no longer before you. Future is that which is not yet before you.
