The Clausius statement of the second law of thermodynamics:
"Heat can never pass from a colder to a warmer body without some other change connected therewith, occurring at the same time."

This version of the second law of thermodynamics is very popular because, like "Entropy always increases", it makes no sense (scientists love nonsensical statements because they are invincible):
Clifford Truesdell, The Tragicomical History of Thermodynamics, 1822–1854, p. 333: "Clausius' verbal statement of the "Second Law" makes no sense, for "some other change connected therewith" introduces two new and unexplained concepts: "other change"
and "connection" of changes. Neither of these finds any place in Clausius' formal structure. All that remains is a Mosaic prohibition. A century of philosophers and journalists have acclaimed this commandment; a century of mathematicians have shuddered
and averted their eyes from the unclean."

Here is an oversimplified presentation of Clausius' 1850 argument:
Premise: Heat can never pass from a colder to a warmer body SPONTANEOUSLY.
Conclusion: Heat can never pass from a colder to a warmer body IN A QUASI-STATIC PROCESS.
The conclusion does not follow from the premise (the argument is invalid). Clausius' 1950 text:
Rudolf Clausius: "Carnot assumed, as has already been mentioned, that the equivalent of the work done by heat is found in the mere transfer of heat from a hotter to a colder body, while the quantity of heat remains undiminished. The latter part of this
assumption--namely, that the quantity of heat remains undiminished--contradicts our former principle, and must therefore be rejected...It is this maximum of work which must be compared with the heat transferred. When this is done it appears that there is
in fact ground for asserting, with Carnot, that it depends only on the quantity of the heat transferred and on the temperatures t and tau of the two bodies A and B, but not on the nature of the substance by means of which the work is done...If we now
suppose that there are two substances of which the one can produce more work than the other by the transfer of a given amount of heat, or, what comes to the same thing, needs to transfer less heat from A to B to produce a given quantity of work, we may
use these two substances alternately by producing work with one of them in the above process. At the end of the operations both bodies are in their original condition; further, the work produced will have exactly counterbalanced the work done, and
therefore, by our former principle, the quantity of heat can have neither increased nor diminished. The only change will occur in the distribution of the heat, since more heat will be transferred from B to A than from A to B, and so on the whole heat
will be transferred from B to A. By repeating these two processes alternately it would be possible, without any expenditure of force or any other change, to transfer as much heat as we please from a cold to a hot body, and this is not in accord with the
other relations of heat, since it always shows a tendency to equalize temperature differences and therefore to pass from hotter to colder bodies." Ueber die bewegende Kraft der Wärme, 1850
