Kids today!

"I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words... When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly [disrespectful] and impatient of restraint"
- Hesiod, 8th century BC

I keep seeing this quote and forgetting its origin.  Stuck here so I can use it next time someone complains about how society has gone downhill...
