This is a well known supposed 700BC quote,
supposedly by Hesiod.
However, there seems to be no source for it anywhere, indeed no source outside the internet at all. While there may be little doubt that it reflects some sentiments of Hesiod's, it would be interesting to know where it originates. Is it a recent bit of apocrypha?
Quote:
"I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words. When I was a boy, we were taught to be discrete and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise and impatient of restraint." |
