No people do so much harm as those who go about doing good.

Summary

This quote suggests that the harm caused by individuals seeking to do good is often greater than that caused by others. It implies that some people, in their quest to make a positive difference, inadvertently end up causing more harm due to their misguided actions or misguided understanding of what is truly good. This can serve as a reminder to critically evaluate our actions and intentions to ensure that our efforts to help others are effectively and ethically benefiting them rather than inflicting unintended harm.
