Quote by Charles Dickens

It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.

It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever do

Summary

This quote, from Charles Dickens' novel "A Tale of Two Cities," emphasizes the idea that sacrificing oneself for a greater cause can bring a greater sense of fulfillment and peace than one has ever experienced before. It suggests that the act of selflessness and the subsequent rest gained from it are far superior to any previous actions or rest experienced by the individual. It underscores the transformative power of noble sacrifice and the idea that true fulfillment can be found in giving oneself wholly to something greater than personal desires.
