Quotable Quotes 2

One quote that comes to my mind whenever someone older, like my mom, complains about where society and kids are going(in her option downhill) is a quote that you'd agree with if you felt the same way. It goes something like this:

"Our youth love luxury; they have bad manners;contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love to talk in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter a room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up their food and tyranize their teachers."

Sounds true depending on your circumstances and experiences. Believable and a current issue. Then when you find out the quote is attributed to Socrates you wonder if thats how its always been. One generation to the next; age and youth facing an ongoing timeless challenge of transition, growth pains.
