the end does not justify the means Explanation: A popular truism. Means you can't do bad "immoral" things, even if the end goal is "good." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 mins (2008-09-09 17:21:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The other ethic is also commonly described as: "If you wanna make an omelet, you got to break some eggs," meaning the end does justify the means. |
