It is not what you were, but what you are
“Time past is none of yours: it is not what you were, but what you are; God will be daily looked unto. Did you eat yesterday? That feeds you not today: therefore, Jesus taught his disciples, and us in them, to pray for our daily bread, for the present sustenance; and to look no further, but depend upon the Lord….”
— William Penn, 1677
Early Quaker and founder of Pennsylvania
