  This short note is devoted to non-proficient in physics. Its purpose is that
of proposing a possible universal connection between the definition of Action
given by Goethe in his ``Faust'' tragic play and the Hamilton's Principle of
the Minimal Action. This Principle is one of the most general ways of
formulating the dynamics of a physical system both in classical and in quantum
physics. The recent discovery of the long time searched Higgs particle may be
seen as the most spectacular successful confirmation of the Standard Model
formalism based on the Minimal Action Principle. Supported by this experimental
confirmation, we propose a possible general meaning of the Principle, inspired
by the Goethe's ``Faust'' tragic play.
