One of my favorite quotes:

"There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved."

-- George Sand

Happiness is dependent on other people holding up their side of the bargain? You have to have luck as well as effort, in order to be happy?

A grim thought.

This quote does not actually imply the same person(s) in both clauses.

It certainly does when it's posted in the context of a romantic relationship!
