I cannot off hand give you the source, but I believe it was Socrates, of course quoted by (and perhaps said by) Plato. It goes like this: "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."
I hope this is useful.
