‘yo te ahosi atīto attapaṭilābho, sova te attapaṭilābho sacco, mogho anāgato, mogho paccuppanno.

> ‘Then if they rejoined: “Well! that past personality that you had, is that real to you; and the future personality, and the present, unreal? The future personality that you will have, is that real to you; and the past personality, and the present, unreal? The personality that you have now, in the present, is that real to you; and the past personality, and the future, unreal?” How would you answer?’  
> ‘I should say that the past personality that I had was real to me at the time when I had it; and the others unreal. And so also in the other two cases.’  
> — Potthapada Sutta (Dialogues of the Buddha)
