Mercy?

Whoever shows mercy to the cruel ultimately will be cruel to those deserving of mercy.

Simon ben Lakish, 3rd Century Rabbi.

It means exactly what it says. IF a person is willing to show mercy to people who are cruel (who don't deserve mercy), then he will eventually be cruel to those who do deserve mercy.
