"Is there one among us, in any walk of life, who does not need hope and seek for greater joy? These are the universal needs and longings of the human soul, and they are the promises of Christ to his followers. Hope is extended to 'ev'ry contrite heart' and joy comes to 'all the meek.' [Hymns, 1985, no. 141]."

Howard W. Hunter, Ensign, May 1993, 63
