“A contented person is the one who enjoys the scenery along the detours.  Now and then it’s good
to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.”

      "I wish that every Latter-day Saint could say and mean it with all his heart:  'I'll go where you want me to go.  I'll say what you want me to say.  I'll be what you want me to be.'  (Hymns, 1985, no. 270.)  If we could all do that, we would be assured of the maximum of happiness here and exaltation in the celestial kingdom of God hereafter."

"Live so as to have a quiet conscience."

Richard L. Evans (April 1954 General Conference Report, page 85)

"The key to happiness is to get the Spirit and keep it."

Marion G. Romney  (General Conference Report, October 1961, page 61)

  "Our eternal happiness will be in proportion to the way that we devote ourselves to helping others."

George Albert Smith  (General Conference Report, October 1936, page 71)

        "Learn to be pleased with everything; with wealth, so far as it makes us beneficial to others; with poverty, for not having much to care for; and with obscurity, for being unenvied."

"Happiness and peace are found when we are in harmony with ourselves,
with God and with our fellowmen."

Barbara W. Winder (November 1985 Ensign, page 96)

        "Nobody is ever happy 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Rather than thinking in terms of a
day, we perhaps need to snatch happiness in little pieces, learning to recognize the elements of
happiness and then treasuring them while they last."

 George Albert Smith  (General Conference Report, April, 1950, page 169)

        "Happiness is a byproduct of helping others. No man ever finds happiness by thinking of himself. True happiness comes when we lose ourselves in the service of others - when we are merciful to our
fellowmen."

        "It is God's purpose and will that we might be happy today, tomorrow, next week, a hundred years from now-yes, a million years from now.  You may say in your mind, 'But we won't live that long.'  We will live that long. Life is eternal, and the thing that is important to remember is that the way we live today, and the way we live throughout mortality, will determine our happiness throughout eternity, will determine our status forever."

        "Happiness doesn't depend on outward conditions.  It depends on inner conditions.  It isn't what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy.  It is what you think about it."

      "Success is not the key to happiness.  Happiness is the key to success.  If you love what you are doing, you will be successful."

William Ralph Inge 

	"There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course.  Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness."
