Abba Anthony said, 'It is not seemly for us to remember the time which has passed, but let a man be each day as one who begins his toil, so that the excessive weariness [which we will feel] may be to our advantage. And let him say, as Paul said, 'That which is behind me I forget, and I reach out to that which is before me' ' (Philippians iii, 13). And let him also remember the word of Elijah, who said, 'As the Lord lives, before Whom I stand this day'' (1 Kings xvii, 1).
