I would like to ask you, “When are you the happiest?” You’re the happiest when you are trying your best to serve the Lord with all your heart, with all your might, and with all your strength. And I would like to ask you when you’re the most unhappy? You’re the most unhappy when you fail to do those things that the Lord has commanded you to do. Happiness, true happiness, comes from serving the Lord every day as best you can, trying just a little harder today than you did yesterday. – Thorpe B. Isaacson, “Conference Report,” October 1950, Afternoon Meeting, p.89
