Prophet Statesmen, Brigham Young
Excerpt from an 1863 address by Brigham Young found in the “Journal of Discourses: Volume 10,” p. 177.
I like a good government, and then I like to have it wisely and justly administered. The government of heaven, if wickedly administered, would become one of the worst governments upon the face of the earth. No matter how good a government is, unless it is administered by righteous men, an evil government will be made of it.
Brigham Young (1801-1877) served as second President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was the founder of Salt Lake City, and first governor of Utah Territory.
