10. Do not suppose, because it has been spoken concerning restoration, that ye shall be restored from sin to happiness; Behold, I say unto you, wickedness never was happiness.
11. And now, my son, all men that are in a state of nature, or I would say, in a carnal state, are in the gall of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity; they are without God in the world, and they have gone contrary to the nature of God, therefore, they are in a state contrary to the nature of happiness.

Alma to his son Corianton before passing away
In October 1998 General Conference President Hinckley reiterated the principle in this scripture saying, "We will ever be a happy people if we will so conduct our lives (meaning "walk before Him with love and appreciation and obedience."). Sin never was happiness. Transgression never was happiness. Falsehood in word or behavior never was happiness. Happiness lies in obedience to the teachings and commandments of God our Eternal Father and His Beloved Son, the Lord Jesus Christ."
