Ironically, I was just reading another thread where I found the following quote from Daniel Webster.

“The Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions.”

"Ironically, I was just reading another thread where I found the following quote from Daniel Webster.

“The Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions.”

Another Quote which comes to mind attributed to Samuel Johnson in 1775: "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."

While there is debate about the exact quote, even earlier than that, it's was attributed to Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1091-1153) as saying: "Hell is full of good intentions or desires."

Either way, the meaning is more apropos today than ever.
