> For things that were intended good, but ended up bad, there's an English idiom:
Better is the enemy of good.
Old Italian proverb: "il meglio è nemico del bene"
Shakespeare, King Lear: "Striving to better, oft we mar what's well".
It's kind of like the road to hell, which is famously paved with good intentions.
