A boy is a person who is going to carry on what you have started. His is to sit right where you are sitting and attend, when you are gone, to those things you think are so important. You may adopt all the policies you please, but how they will be carried out depends on him. Even if you make leagues and treaties, he will have to manage them.

 He will assume control of your cities, states and nations. He is going to move in and take over your prisons, churches, schools, universities and corporations. All your work is going to be judged and praised or condemned by him. Your reputation and your future are in his hands. All you work is for him, and the fate of the nations and of humanity is in his hands.

So it might be well to pay him some attention.
