Excerpt from The Tragedy of Faust, Vol. 1
Another important but by no means novel truth Goethe may also have meant to enforce. It is one which is tolerably sure to have been reached by every man who has learned to place his happiness in helping toward the happiness Of others - namely, that it is not here on earth that the soul can look for satisfaction. In a higher sense than was present to the mind of Ulysses in Tennyson's poem, All experience is an arch, wherethrough Gleams that untravelled world, whose margin fades For ever and for ever, as we move.
