“Muhammad was an unscrupulous warrior, and a just judge... He perfumed his body, painted his eyes, dyed his hair. His senses were painfully keen; he could not bear evil odors, jangling bells, or loud talk. He was nervous and restless, subject to melancholy, then suddenly talkative and gay. If we judge greatness by influence, he was one of the giants of history. Seldom has any man so fully realized his dream. When he began, Arabia was a desert flotsam of idolatrous tribes; when he died it was a nation.”

Will Durant 1885 – 1981 CE
Philosophy apostle and popularizer of history's lessons
from Age of Faith
