Hell is paved with good intentions - Благими намерениями ад вымощен

Hell is paved with good intentions is a popular saying. Similar expressions occur in other languages. It is traditionally ascribed to Dr Samuel Johnson, an English lexicographer and writer of the 18th century. In fact, Johnson did not invent the expression, but his wording is the one that has become accepted, others paved the hell with infants’ skulls, with the sculls of scholars, and many had paved it with good purposes and good desires.
