I was actually going to use it my class in the Fall if I could verify it. Now, I might as well just make up my own damn quote.
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

I always heard that quote attributed to some 13th-century monk...

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Right? it is made the fuck up.
I searched google scholar for it and all kinds of people have cited that shit. It's in Bartleby's apparently, but they cite some random book from 1959 who cite Plato. Wouldn't you specify where in Plato you found a quote? You are circulating a rumor, Bartleby's.

You should tell Bartleby's! I am sure they would prefer not to!

There *is* a Roman author who said something pithy about the youth of today; I've taught the work in Classical Civ. But I'm damned if I can remember what it is, and Google is failing me. (I am pretty sure what I'm thinking of is not Cicero's oration against Catiline.)
