For all of his faults I suspect George Patton understood the true nature of human beings as well as anyone:

“Compared to war, all other forms of human endeavor shrink to insignificance."

It is not that humans can't do great things, it is just that their endless blood lust puts everything else in the background.

If you want Pollyanna's view of the world, you can find that just about anywhere and everywhere.
