"If greatness of purpose, smallness of means, and outstanding results are the three criteria of human genius, who could dare to compare any great man in modern history with Muhammad." - Alphonse Marie Louis de Prat de Lamartine (Histoire de la Turquie - 1854)

"The lies (Western slander) which well-meaning zeal has heaped round this man (Muhammad) are disgraceful to ourselves only" - Thomas Carlyle

"A silent great soul, one of that who cannot but be earnest. He was to kindle the world, the worlds Maker had ordered so." - Thomas Carlyle

"(It is simply amazing) how one man single handedly could weld warring tribes and wandering Bedouins into a most powerful and civilized nation in less than two decades." - Thomas Carlyle (On Heroes and Hero Worship and the Heroic in History - 1841)

"Head of the State as well as the Church, he was Caesar and Pope in one; but he was Pope without the Pope's pretensions, and Caesar without the legions of Caesar, without a standing army, without a bodyguard, without a police force, without a fixed revenue. If ever a man ruled by a right divine, it was Muhammad, for he had all the powers without their supports. He cared not for the dressings of power. The simplicity of his private life was in keeping with his public life." - Reverend Bosworth Smith (Muhammad and Muhammadanism - 1874)

"I became more than convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life. It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the Prophet, the scrupulous regard for pledges, his intense devotion to his friends and followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his own mission." - Mahatma Ghandi (Young India - 1924)
