Reminds me of a famous quote from Danish humorist Storm P:

"He who understands humor as only humor and seriousness as only seriousness has misunderstood both"

Also from Hagakure (though I know it from Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai):

Among the maxims on Lord Naoshige's wall, there was this one: "Matters of great concern should be treated lightly." Master Ittei commented, "Matters of small concern should be treated seriously."
