Jewish equivalent of "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"?

Is there a rabbinic maxim or something in Torah that sends the same message? I would imagine so, since our religion focuses on actions over thoughts or belief. But I can’t think of it.

(For those who haven’t heard the phrase, it’s used colloquially to imply that you can have good intentions all you want, but still go down a terrible path/end up just doing bad things… Not sure if it’s Christian in origin or what it might mean to them originally but I.know of its secular use)
