We judge ourselves by our intentions. And others by their actions.

To know the good from the bad, measure the heart. Actions reveal the true coloring of one's heart, not their intentions.
It is not what we read, but what we remember, that makes us learned. It is not what we intend, but what we do that makes us useful. It is not a few faint wishes, but a life long struggle, that makes us valiant.

It may sound trite, but using the weapons of the enemy, no matter how good one's intentions, makes one the enemy.
