Forgiveness

"If Almighty God gives a man a cowardly pair of legs, how can he help their running away with him?" - Lincoln

No president gave more pardons, including for military deserters, than Abraham Lincoln. He was also a famously lenient parent, maybe to the point of distraction for others. In the end, though, grace begets grace, and forgiveness to the greatest extent possible leads to a warm community feeling, especially when modeled by the leader.
