Elder Richard L. Evans taught, "Humor is essential to a full and happy life. It is a reliever and relaxer of pressure and tension" (Improvement Era, Feb. 1968, 71).
President Hugh B. Brown said, "A wholesome sense of humor ... will enable you to apply the lighter touch to heavy problems ... that 'sweat and tears' often fail to dissolve" ( Conference Report, April 1968, 100).
