When we think about the ends justifying the means we may think about politics first. Many, if not all, politicians believe in their ideals so much they may compromise what's "right" to get the job done.

I found this on Wikipedia - The end justifies the means is a phrase of Sergey Nechayev, the 19th century Russian revolutionary.
