Plato, Apology, 41e- 42a
"However, I make this request of them: when my sons grow up, gentlemen, punish them by troubling them as I have troubled you; if they seem to you to care for money or anything else more than for virtue, and if they think they amount to something when they do not, rebuke them as I have rebuked you because they do not care for what they ought, and think they amount to something when they are worth nothing. If you do this, both I and my sons shall have received just treatment from you.
But now the time has come to go away. I go to die, and you to live; but which of us goes to the better lot, is known to none but God."
The Apology of Socrates.
