I was searching for a quote about - not sure exactly; 'liberty' or 'democracy' or 'creativity', or some such thing; the only thing I remembered about it was that it contained the phrase "men of goodwill" (or possibly "men of good intent"; maybe paraphrased to "people of goodwill/intent" these days) - and in the process discovered this one:
"The Senate is a place filled with goodwill and good intentions, and if the road to hell is paved with them, then it's a pretty good detour.”
Which just goes to prove that even Americans can come up with a good "bon mot". (just kidding
)
And if anybody knows the quote I was
actually looking for, they get a
cow.
