Best intentions Quote by Dante Alighieri

“As one who wills, and then unwills his will, Changing his mind with every changing whim, Till all his best intentions come to nil, So I stood havering in that moorland dim, While through fond rifts of fancy oozed away The first quick zest that filled me to the brim.” quote by Dante Alighieri — Download Open image
