(chuckling)  that's a good one.  i finally found the one i was looking
for... the reason i couldn't find it is cuz it wasn't by plato after

"Our youth now loves luxury, they have bad manners, contempt for
authority, disrespect for older people, children nowadays are tyrants...
they contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble their
food, and tyrannize their teachers."  ~Socrates.
thanks for the help tho... i think i like the cicero one better...
