What's the exact quote for ~"He traveled around the world only to return home and see it for the first time" ?

Question

Looking for the exact quotation and who said it.

I'm probably off on the wording because I've Googled relentlessly and still can't find it.

Answer 1

Could you be thinking of the T.S. Eliot poem Little Gidding? There's a small part in it that reads:

We shall not cease from exploration

And the end of all our exploring

Will be to arrive where we started

And know the place for the first time.

Answer 2

isnt it

"He traveled the world over, only to return home and see what truely matters most" ?
