So if you murder someone in self-defense, your intentions don't matter at all? =\ I think both result and intention should be considered very carefully before qualifying an action. And to qualify a person as good or bad... well, you need to be God or a high school student. Oh, really?

You can't judge people on intentions. You can only judge results. No, the saying means that “I only had the best intentions” has historically been used to justify the most horrific of atrocities.

One person intends to destroy everyone and everything he meets in the most horrific manner possible, but accidentally ends up aiding them. Another person intends to help all those he comes across, only to bring them harm. Which is a better person? I think intentions are far more important than results, but that's just me, I suppose.
