Noll's Thought for March 26, 2011

Socrates, c. 400 BC - 252

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