My mother had abandoned the family, so grandmother raised me. And she was instrumental in that she taught me that the world is a glorious place. She taught me to embrace humanity. And she'd say there's never an excuse for joy. And to be thankful.

I think our Savior wants us to be happy on this earth. That's why we're here is to have joy.

I came from a place where there wasn't a lot of joy.

Your joy comes from how you think, the choices that we make in life.

I can say that I never knew what joy was like until I gave up pursuing happiness, or cared to live until I chose to die. For these two discoveries I am beholden to Jesus.

There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.

If you live for any joy on earth, you may be forsaken; but, oh, live for Jesus, and he will never forsake you!

In this world, the only true joy comes from the gospel - the joy that radiates from the Atonement and from ordinances that transcend the veil, and from the Comforter that salves our souls.

I was, by divine grace, enabled to bring all my sins and all my sorrows and lay them at the feet of Jesus, and to receive the blessed assurance that He had accepted me, all sinful and polluted as I was.

Joy is the serious business of Heaven.
