Intentioned Actions Quote by Grant Ginder
““He’d just been awarded his master’s degree, and he was more or less pure hearted and well intentioned; his actions and decisions were dictated by a sense of goodness and purpose. Or, at least, that’s what he likes to think, now that he has the luxury of hiding behind hindsight.””
