"Happiness is created. Love is its center. Its principal ingredients are sincere faith, true repentance, full obedience, and selfless service."
Elder Richard G. Scott, Happiness Now and Forever
Ensign, November 1979
"Home should be a happy place because all work to keep it that way. It is said that happiness is homemade, and we should endeavor to make our homes happy and pleasant
places for us and our children."
Elder Legrande R. Curtis, Happiness Is Homemade
Ensign, November 1990
"Discipline is organized love, and children develop properly in an atmosphere of love, with adequate guidelines to shape their lives and their habits. More children are punished for mimicking their parents than ever for disobeying them. We should be what we want to see."
Elder Legrande R. Curtis, Happiness Is Homemade
Ensign, November 1990
"In the ideal home, Sunday would be the happiest day of the week. We should look forward to its coming because it is the day we go to church together and then come home and discuss together what we learned in our various church meetings. Around the kitchen table at dinnertime would be an excellent opportunity to have both parents and children tell about what they learned in their Sunday School classes and other meetings. How we observe the Sabbath indicates our feelings toward our Father in Heaven."
Elder Legrande R. Curtis, Happiness Is Homemade
Ensign, November 1990
"What do you suppose is the greatest kind of happiness possible? For me, the answer

"Pleasure is often confused with happiness but is by no means synonymous with it...Pleasure, unlike happiness, is that which pleases us or gives us gratification. Usually it endures for only a short time."
President James E. Faust, Our Search for Happiness
October 2000
As Elder David O. McKay, then of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, once said, “You may get that transitory pleasure, yes, but you cannot find joy, you cannot find happiness. Happiness is found only along that well beaten track, narrow as it is, though straight, which leads to life eternal” (in Conference Report, Oct. 1919, 180).

Heavenly Father desires that we find true, lasting happiness. Our happiness is the design of all the blessings He gives us—gospel teachings, commandments, priesthood ordinances, family relationships, prophets, temples, the beauties of creation, and even the opportunity to experience adversity. His plan for our salvation is often called “the great plan of happiness” (Alma 42:8). He sent His Beloved Son to carry out the Atonement so we can be happy in this life and receive a fulness of joy in the eternities.
