Hi,
"Gd does not consider a wicked plan equivalent to a wicked deed."
This means that a person who plans to do something wrong, but is unsuccessful, is not considered to have performed the act.
The Talmud notes one exception to the rule: Idolatrous thoughts.
(Talmud, Chullin 142a)
Have a good day,
Mordechai
