Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for
authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of
exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their
parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their
teachers.
--Socrates, Fifth Century, B.C.

I remember reading this when I studied literacy in the times of the Bible. This quote is a classic. Thanks for the refreshing reminder.
