Laughter is much more important than applause. Applause is almost a duty. Laughter is a reward.

Meaning of the quote

Laughter is more valuable than people clapping their hands to show they liked something. Clapping is something people often feel like they have to do, but laughter is a special gift that shows you really enjoyed something. It's better to make people laugh than to just make them clap.
