Attribution note
Loosely echoes Gandhi's means-and-ends teaching, but this specific formulation appears only in Indonesian quote collections with no primary source, so attribution stays unverified. Also non-English.
Likely origin: Indonesian saying credited to Gandhi ('Where the means and end are good, God is present'); no reliable primary source located.

When both what you're after and the way you're getting there are clean, something right settles over the whole effort. The insistence is that a good goal can't be reached through foul means without spoiling it; the method has to match the aim for the result to actually hold.
When to use it
- A fundraiser that hits its target through honest appeals rather than guilt-tripping and buried fine print.
- A candidate who wins on real arguments instead of smearing an opponent to take the same seat.
- A parent getting a child to study through encouragement rather than fear, so the habit outlasts the pressure.
