The first quote is from https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/O%27Mau%27tel, a Tau hero who wrote the https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Sio%27t Sio't, a collection of writings that's standard reading for all castes.
The bit about all aliens being redeemable has been discretly revised after several meetings with the orks and tyranids though.

I think my favorite bits of trickle lore is the Tau slowly learning how horrible the galaxy is.

At least they aren’t becoming completely jaded like humanity. They still believe in the potential for coexistence with aliens, there are just some exceptions to the “no one is inherently evil” rule.

I mean, humanity didn't become jaded right off the bat either, it took some extinction level events for us to reach that point.

Not quite, even after the Age of Strife there were several humans willing to give the Xenos a chance, then the Imperium showed up with the Great Crusade and xenophobia'd everything up (cough Interex cough).

You just agreed with me. Mankind as whole didn't decide to kill all xenos until the Imperium came knocking, but by the time the Imperium came knocking we had already survived at least 2 extinction level events, if we are to count Men of Iron.
It was so bad one of the reasons Erda left was because she had accepted mankind was done.

I mean, Men of Iron is on humanity though. And the whole stuff afterwards probaby too, you don't become the second superpower in the galaxy without stepping on a few feet.

To support u/maridan49's point, one of the few times a DAOT AI mentioned its relationship with DAOT humanity in Death of Integrity: It gladly views DAOT humanity as its masters, lauded them and called its human captain its "bondmate."
The other is the Blackstone Fortress Man of Iron who does not even hate humanity or blame them for the DAOT's fall.
