Do you know who Thomas Carlyle is?

Question

He wrote the book "Heroes and Heroworship". What do you think of this quote from his book?

"THOMAS CARLYLE in his (HEROES AND HEROWORSHIP), was simply amazed as to:

"how one man single-handedly, could weld warring tribes and wandering Bedouins into a most powerful and civilized nation in less than two decades.""

Answer 1

Yes, I know that - actually he speaks about Prophet Muhammad. Though Thomas Carlyle never embraced Islam but he realised at his time that Prophet Muhammad was not an ordinary man and he refuted that Prophet Muhammad ever used sword to convert others...

Answer 2

He wrote a book on the French Revolution. I read it. That's about all I know.
