Horace, in his ode titled “Ad Romanos” says: “
Quid non damnosa dies imminuit? Aetas parentum pejor avis tulit nos nequiores, mox daturos vitiosiorem progeniem”.

He then responds: “The age of our parents, more degenerate than that of our grandfathers, made us even more worthless, and we will give birth to a still more vicious progeny!”
Grumbling thus about us will be our children and grandchildren. Lamenting that because of your and my high tolerance for corrupt and mediocre leaders, they are born doomed.
