[I]t is well to have as many holds upon happiness as possibl

Summary

This quote suggests that it is beneficial to have multiple sources or means of finding happiness in life. By having various "holds" or ways to access and experience happiness, individuals can increase their chances of experiencing joy and contentment. Having diversity in the things, activities, and relationships that bring happiness allows a person to have a more well-rounded and fulfilling life. It implies that relying on just one source of happiness can be limiting, and therefore, it is advantageous to explore and cultivate a wide range of experiences and connections that contribute to one's overall happiness.
