Do you think intention is more important or perception is more important?

For me it is definitely perception. There is a German saying which goes:

Gut gemeint ist nicht gut gemacht.

Which literally translates to „well intended is not well done“ and I agree

ohh you even have a saying for it!

So does English - the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

I've heard this before but I didn't think it had to do with perception until now.

It doesn't, it's just a commentary on intention not being worth anything without a good result.

The Germans have a saying for everything!
