Цитата:
Let me first give you four quotations. Firstly: "Our youth loves luxury, has bad manners, disregards authority and has no respect whatsoever for age; our today's children are tyrants; they do not get up when an elderly man enters the room - they talk back to their parents - they are just very bad."
Secondly: "I have no longer any hope for the future of our country if today's youth should ever become the leaders of tomorrow, because this youth is unbearable, reckless-just terrible."
Thirdly: "Our world has reached a critical stage; children no longer listen to their parents; the end of the world cannot be far away."
Finally: "This youth is rotten from the very bottom of their hearts; the young people are malicious and lazy; they will never be as youth happened to be before; our today's youth will not be able to maintain our culture."
The first came from Socrates, 470 - 399 B. C.; the second from Hesiod, circa 720 B.C.; the third from an Egyptian priest about 2,000 years B.C.; and the last was discovered recently on clay pots in the ruins of Old Babylon, and these were more than 3,000 years old.
