I'm looking for the quote of a Greek philosopher that states that
their youth are immoral, ruining society by their attitudes and
conduct, and are in effect "going to hell."   Thanks.

Hi mojo13,

I believe the quote you are looking for is by the fifth century B.C.
scholar, Socrates.

"Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for
authority; they show disrespect for their elders, and love chatter in
places 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."

"Our youth now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for
authority; they show disrespect for elders and love to chatter in
places of exercise. Children are tyrants, not the servants of the
household. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They
contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up their food
and tyrannize their teachers." -- Socrates, 44 BC.
