The never-ending battle for liberty

There are no permanent victories in the battle for liberty and the economic prosperity that it engenders. Darkness can only be held off for a generation until it has to be fought again.

 “Always after a defeat and a respite," said Gandalf, "Socialism takes another shape and grows again." “I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
