It is not the conditions people are in that produce happiness, but how they respond to those conditions.
Even though we may be required to experience great hardship, we will prevail over any difficulty by exercising faith and trust in the Lord.
From the Book of Mormon Student Manual Religion 121and 122. Chapter 5 Introduction
and ...
President Spencer W. Kimball made it clear that people cannot escape the
consequences of unworthy acts: “Every soul must stand trial and pay the
uttermost farthing in one way or another. Escape from the consequences of acts
of free agency is an impossibility. No one, however clever, bypasses the ‘due
reward of our deeds.’ There are dark, deep corners, locked rooms, isolated
spots, but no act, good or bad; no thought, ugly or beautiful, ever escapes
being seen or heard. Every one will make the imprint on the individual and be
recorded, to be met and paid for. Hence, one only deceives himself to think he
is ‘getting by’ with anything improper” (The Teachings of Spencer W.
Kimball, p. 155).
Found in the same manual as above, Chapter 5; 1 Nephi
15:32–35, “Judged of Their Works”
