Jeffrey, from what I understand, this quote is bogus (which may be the
reason you're having trouble finding the source.<g>) John McChesney-Young,
from the LATINTEACH listserv, forwarded the following sites/explanations to
me. Hope this helps! :)

Vīta sine litterīs mors est.

Subject: [LM_NET] REF: FOUND QUOTE, NEED SOURCE
> Thank you to the quick fingers of an LM-Net member, I was directed to the
> archives. The quote is there, but there is no bibliographic backup. Does
> anyone have a corroborative source? It seems that a lot of these aphorisms
> and quotes have dubious validity. I find that with quotes by Lincoln,
> Einstein and Socrates, people don't source their quotes; even God gets
> sourced through the Scriptures. As far as I know, Socrates nenver wrote
> anything on his own, but everything was stylized and recorded by his
> student, Plato.

> For those of us needing a mid-week chuckle, here is the quote:

> "Our youth love luxury. They have bad manners and contempt for their
elders
> and love idle chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants not
the
> servants of the household. They contradict their parents, chatter before
> company. gobble up their food, and tyrannize their teachers." attributed
to
