Thomas Carlyle was 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.
--
The Muslim World League Journal (1994); this has resulted in "[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" being cited as a direct quotation of Carlyle's Heroes and Hero Worship but such a statement is not actually found in that document.Holy Prophet Muhammad

Look at all I've done for the US. Nobody has single-handedly done more for the US image than me, I really believe this. When I won the World Championship in '72, the United States had an image of, you know, a football country, baseball country, but nobody thought of it as an intellectual country. I turned all that around single-handedly, right? But I was useful then because there was the Cold War, right? But now I'm not useful anymore, you see, the Cold War is over, and now they want to wipe me out, steal everything I have, put me in prison, and so on.
Bobby Fischer
...the news might be single-handedly trying to bring about an environmental catastrophe, which it will then report on.
Charlie Brooker
When a nation forgets her skill in war, when her religion becomes a mockery, when the whole nation becomes a nation of money-grabbers, then the wild tribes, the barbarians drive in... Who will our invaders be? From whence will they come?
Robert E. Howard
To weld the people into one single unconquerable and all-destructive force – this is our aim, our conspiracy, and our task.
Sergey Nechayev
I thought of myself as a species of knight errant attacking dragons single-handedly and rescuing musical virtue in distress.
