"Nothing in the world—indeed nothing even beyond the world—can possibly be conceived which could be called good without qualification except a good will."

And if you have a good will then you seek good results, so both philosphies end up in the same place, right?

No, not really. The question can be summed up as "do the ends justify the means?".
