Interesting, Faldage. Is there a difference in meaning? One would think so, as the misquote is a way of saying that people who do not follow through with intended good deeds in life are headed for hell, or more simply, "Thanks for nothing...". What hell being paved with good intentions means I'm not quite sure. I suppose the citizens of hell must have done the paving, therefore indicating the quality of the citizenry, and at the same time, the seriousness of the sin (good intentions without deeds). I think I like the road better, because at least you can take a detour and avoid hell before it's too late! :0)
