This phrase is more of a warning about how one achieves a result. It is not difficult to get caught up in bad actions when you are working towards a good goal. For example, suppose you want to donate money to your favorite charity. The only problem is you don’t have any money to donate. So instead of working more hours or cutting back your expenses, you decide to rob a gas station. While robbing the gas station, you have to shoot the cashier. You have committed two crimes (bad actions) just so you could help out your favorite charity (good intention).
