Is that intentionally or only accidentally ironic? Isn't that the ultimate "good intention"?
I got just one question:

I meant, surely having the intention to try to be as good as one can is a good intention isn't it? So doesn't the saying in question apply equally to that as well? (["the road to] hell is paved with good intentions.")
