No, the end does not justify the means.
Do good and avoid evil - regardless of the consequences.

No, the end doesn't justify the means. Seek a way to use good means for the good end that you want. Evade if you must.

After having given this some thought, I must conclude that it depends on the circumstances. The end of obliterating Osama bin Laden would not justify exploding a nuclear weapon over Islamabad, even if it were certain that he were there. But the torture of a terrorist, known to have planted a nuclear bomb somewhere in Manhattan, in order to stop its detonation, would be justifiable.

Only if it does more good than harm, or at least intends to.
(Evade what?)

Every situation is different and should be judged individually to determine the best course of action...

Life's a journey, not a destination.
Forget the end, basically.
