It happened again. What I thought something meant wasn't what it meant at all.
The saying:
It's not that good intentions are bad, what the proverb is saying is that unless they are "acted upon" they are useless.
This has been happening a lot lately. Looking up a word or a phrase and finding the meaning or import is completely different from what I thought...
proverb
"promises and plans must be put into action, or else they are useless."
alternative version:
"Hell is full of good meanings, but heaven is full of good works."
Could it be the road out of hell is to act on your good intentions? :)

Great way to look at it! It's like that saying, "Love of money is the root of all evil." Many people shorten it to "Money is the root of all evil." Something gets lost.... :>)
