Famous quotes containing the words intended and/or benefits:

    Portia. Why, know’st thou any harm’s intended towards him?
    Soothsayer. None that I know will be, much that I fear may chance.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    It is with benefits as with injuries in this respect, that we do not so much weigh the accidental good or evil they do us, as that which they were designed to do us.—That is, we consider no part of them so much as their intention.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
