Man bör tänka sig själv som en person som finns i framtiden och kan bedöma - fördöma eller gilla - det jag som handlar idag, det jag som häller stånd eller sviker.

Source: "Om mod", I angeläget ärende, Tor Andreæ, Stockholm 1941,
This could be translated as:
One should think that you're someone living in the future and that you have to judge - approve or disapprove - the I that acts today, the I that keeps up or fails.
