Time

“He spends much of his time before a mirror, admiring himself and carefully arranging his hair.  He is more with his barber than he is with his teachers.  Were he bald, he would be better educated.”
This lament is from a Roman father of the first century, writing to a friend about his teen-age son.  --James Dent

Excavators at the ancient city of Aphrodisias in Turkey, discovered the following inscription at the entrance of a public bath:
“The customer is held responsible for the loss of any money from purse or belt not previously checked with the attendant.”  -Martin Buxbaum

Who says we are more advanced than in past years?  What was, is and will  be.
