Theory of Mankind

Edward FitzGerald (1809-1883), letter to Stephen Spring Rice (May 4, 1853):
It begins to be wonderful for me to think of the Past; and my last Theory of Mankind is that it is about as bad as Swift has painted it, but atoned for by the half dozen people one has known and made friends of.
