• Jokes can be noble. Laughs are exactly as honorable as tears. Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion, to the futility of thinking and striving anymore.

• Four be the things I am wiser to know:
  Idleness, sorrow, a friend, and a foe.

  Envy, content, and sufficient champagne.
  Three be the things I shall have till I die:
  Laughter and hope and a sock in the eye.

Drink it all in... there is no way to happiness; happiness is the way.
