A return to first principles in a republic is sometimes caused by the simple virtues of one man. His good example has such an influence that the good men strive to imitate him and the wicked are ashamed to lead a life so contrary to his example.

Niccolo Machiavelli

This was a quote that Carl Bunce, Ron Paul’s campaign chairman for the state of Nevada, posted on Facebook. 

I think it’s the most fitting quote with which to say goodbye to Dr. Ron Paul and to let him know that even when he slides into near obscurity and time fades out the relevance of his name, we should be thankful that he gave new life to ideas of liberty and freedom that once seemed lost to time and he recruited new torch bearers who will march on.
