“I return to the Prophet Joseph’s words: ‘Happiness is the object and design of our existence; and will be the end thereof, if we pursue the path that leads to it; and this path is virtue, uprightness, faithfulness, holiness, and keeping all the commandments of God.’ Let us walk these clearly defined paths. To help us do so we can follow the shortest sermon in the world. It is found on a common traffic sign. It says, ‘Keep right.’”

Thomas S. Monson, Ensign, Oct 1993, 2

“Happiness, to me, lies in stretching, to the farthest boundaries of which we are capable, the resources of the mind and heart.”

(Leo Rosten, This Week Magazine, 20 Jan. 1963, p. 2.) As quoted by Barbara B. Smith, Ensign, May 1982, 79

“All of us desire to be happy. The Prophet Joseph Smith captured our true feelings when he declared: ‘Happiness is the object and design of our existence; and will be the end thereof, if we pursue the path that leads to it; and this path is virtue, uprightness, faithfulness, holiness, and keeping all the commandments of God.’”

Thomas S. Monson, Ensign, Oct 1993, 2

“Find happiness in ordinary things, and keep your sense of humor.”

Boyd K. Packer, Ensign, May 2004, 77
