The Senate is a place filled with goodwill and good intentions, and if the road to hell is paved with them, then it's a pretty good detour.

Hell is paved with good intentions.
Samuel Johnson
The way to Hell is paved with good intentions, and he might just as easily have intended to make money, without producing at all.
Karl Marx
The road to ignorance is paved with good editions. Only the illiterate can afford to buy good books now.
George Bernard Shaw
The road to hell is paved with works-in-progress.
Philip Roth
We know that most people's intentions are good. We don't question their motives; we've never said they're unpatriotic, although they say some pretty ugly things about us. And we believe very strongly on preserving the right to differ in this country, and the right to dissent; and if I have done a good job of anything since I've been president, it's to ensure that there are plenty of dissenters.
