Summary

This quote suggests that when an individual takes up a position of leadership or authority, they must prioritize making tough decisions and maintaining order over showing mercy or compassion. By assuming leadership, one must be prepared to make difficult choices that might not appease everyone, as their responsibility lies in upholding order and making decisions that are best for the greater good. Consequently, leaders must set aside feelings of mercy or leniency, recognizing that their role requires sacrifices for the betterment of their group or organization.
