Midrash for Rosh Hashanah 50:5
קל וחומר חיובא הוא אלא מתוך שהגדולים נשמעים לקטנים נושאין קטנים קל וחומר בעצמן:
It also says; Say not, How was it that the former days were better than these.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., had better judges than these. Eccl. VII, 10.');"><sup>6</sup></span> HE TOOK HIS STAFF AND HIS MONEY IN HIS HAND.
Sifrei Devarim
Variantly: Do not say (I must have a judge) like Moses and Aaron, but (go to) "the judge that shall be in those days." As it is written (Koheleth 7:10) "Do not say: 'What has happened that the earlier days were better than these?' For it is not from wisdom that you ask this."
