Kiya:
Ach, no Kris, neither quotes are the one I have in mind (Cicero). It was something like "being disrespectful" etc. and ending up with ..." and all write a book". The only funny quote - but I can't find it anymore <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />



Could it have been Socrates instead of Cicero?

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, 5th Century BC)


I have several friends who are teachers, and they could have made pretty much identical comments today. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
