It comes from the section on love in "The Prophet" by Khalil Gabran; it also was used in a movie but I cannot remember what movie, if anyone knows it would be great for them to share it.

The line "Laugh, but not all your laughter, cry, but not all your tears" is from the poet Khalil Gibran's work "The Prophet." Gibran was a Lebanese-American writer known for his philosophical and spiritual writings.

The poet Kahlil Gibran attribution is correct. In 1939 movie "The Women", Norma Shearer read the passage. Also, Steve Allen's first novel is titled "Not All of Your Laughter, Not All of Your Tears".

What does holding for laughs mean?
An actor holds his movement or next line until the laugh from the audience evoked by the previous moment subsides. Holding for laughs is important in live comedy as the next line will be lost in the laughter. That is, the audience will not hear the line. It is also important to give the audience time to laugh. If actors routinely "step on laughs" the audience will stop laughing for fear of missing something. Such an audience doesn't have nearly as much fun.
