Our actions are the results of our intentions and our intelligence.

The sentence frames human behavior as the outward expression of two inner forces: what we mean to do (intention) and how well we understand and judge (intelligence). It implies that actions are not random or merely reactive; they are shaped by purpose and by the quality of one’s discernment. In moral and spiritual terms—common concerns in E. Stanley Jones’s writing—the line suggests that ethical living requires both a rightly ordered will and a rightly informed mind. It also carries a practical admonition: if we want better actions, we should examine and refine the intentions that motivate us and the understanding that guides our choices.
