I'm happy...I laugh as much as I can and cry when I have to, without apology. I think that’s happy.

A smile or a tear has not nationality; joy and sorrow speak alike to all nations, and they, above all the confusion of tongues, proclaim the brotherhood of man

I always knew looking back on my tears would bring me laughter, but I never knew looking back on my laughter would make me cry.

Why, I can smile and murder whiles I smile,
And cry 'content' to that which grieves my heart,
And wet my cheeks with artificial tears,
And frame my face for all occasions

I cry, but not for myself. There’s too much sadness in this world to waste a moment with self-pity, when making others smile will also make me smile.

So blended and intertwisted in this life are occasions of laughter and of tears,

I cried in English, I cried in french, I cried in all the languages, because tears are the same all around the world.

When you were born you were crying and everyone else was smiling. Live your life so at the end, your're the one who is smiling and everyone else is crying.

Suffering is not enough. Life is both dreadful and wonderful...How can I smile when I am filled with so much sorrow? It is natural — you need to smile to your sorrow because you are more than your sorrow.

We feel the same emotions for our ideas as we do for the real world, which is why we can cry while reading a book, or fall in love with movie stars.

My joy is like Spring, so warm
it makes flowers bloom all over the Earth.
My pain is like a river of tears,
so vast it fills the four oceans.

Please call me by my true names,
so I can hear all my cries and laughter at once,
so I can see that my joy and pain are one.

when you came you cried and everybody smiled with joy; when you go smile and let the world cry for you.

If my eyes could show my soul,everyone would cry when they saw me smile.

Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.
