Look within. Within is the fountain of good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig.

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The passage locates goodness within the person and compares it to a fountain. Continued digging is the condition for its continuing flow. One reading is that looking inward requires persistent effort: the source may be internal, but drawing on it is presented as active work.
