Each of us, at birth, is given what is sometimes called the pearl of greatest price. It is the one thing that will drive us from the cradle to the grave. Sometimes we choose it and sometimes it is thrust upon us. For some it’s money and for others glory. For some it’s love and for others it’s power. It drives us as surely as water and fire drive the steam engine, and it varies not so much as a particle from birth till death. For me, it was duty. For better or for worse, duty. I had no choice. Do you see?”
