My Word Journey on GOVERNMENT

1828 Dictionary: 1. Control; restraint. Men are apt to neglect the government of their temper and passions. 2. The exercise of authority; direction and restraint exercised over the actions of men in communities, societies or states; the administration of public affairs, according to established constitution, laws and usages, or by arbitrary edicts.
Dictionary.com: The political direction and control exercised over the actions of the members, citizens, or inhabitants of communities, societies, and states; direction of the affairs of a state, community, etc.

LDS.org: For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
                  -Isaiah 9:6
We believe that all men are bound to sustain and uphold the respective governments in which they reside, while protected in their inherent and inalienable rights by the laws of such governments; and that sedition and rebellion are unbecoming every citizen thus protected, and should be punished accordingly; and that allgovernments have a right to enact such laws as in their own judgments are best calculated to secure the public interest; at the same time, however, holding sacred the freedom of conscience.
                   -Dn’C 134:5
Quotes: Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.
-George Washington 
No man is good enough to govern another man without the other's consent.
-Abraham Lincoln

My Definition: A form of Leadership, that is in charge of a group of land or just a group. It can be corrupted if not taken care of correctly.
