You are correct that was the one. I would think that doing noble deeds rather than useful ones is related to work ethic.
How about this quote attributed to Hesiod from the 8th Century BC:
Quote:
|
I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words... When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise [disrespectful] and impatient of restraint".
