"Que Dios tenga piedad de mis enemigos porque yo no lo haré"
— George S. Patton
Simplified Meaning:
The speaker is saying they will be very tough on their enemies and show them no pity or kindness. They believe that any compassion for their enemies will have to come from God, not from them. This could be like someone playing a competitive sport, where they play as hard as they can and don't hold back against the opposing team. The person wants to win so badly that they don't care about the feelings of the other team. In a broader sense, it means being ruthless in achieving your goals and knowing that any forgiveness or mercy will have to come from someone else, not from you. This way of thinking can be applied in situations where you need to be strong and determined, like in business or personal goals, but it's also a reminder that being too harsh might lead to needing forgiveness later.
