The end may justify the means as long as there is something that justifies the end.

Summary

This quote suggests that using morally questionable methods may be acceptable, as long as the end result justifies those actions. In other words, achieving a positive outcome may excuse or make up for any questionable or unethical steps taken to attain that outcome. However, this quote also implies that there must exist something significant or meaningful that can sufficiently justify the end goal, raising questions about the importance of the end result and its impact on morality.
