A quotation from Richard Steele

There is nothing which I contemplate with greater pleasure than the dignity of human nature, which often shows itself in all conditions of life: for notwithstanding the degeneracy and meanness that is crept into it, there are a thousand occasions in which it breaks through its original corruption, and shows what it once was, and what it will be hereafter.

Richard Steele (1672–1729) Anglo-Irish writer, journalist, playwright, politician
Essay (1709-10-29), The Tatler, No. 87
