Quote

Am dining at Goldini's Restaurant, Gloucester Road, Kensington. Please come at once and join me there. Bring with you a jemmy, a dark lantern, a chisel, and a revolver. S. H. It was a nice equipment for a respectable citizen to carry through the dim, fog-draped streets.

There is danger for him who taketh the tiger cub, and danger also for whoso snatches a delusion from a woman.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
It is all in the way of professional experience.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
You mentioned your name as if I should recognize it, but beyond the obvious facts that you are a bachelor, a solicitor, a freemason, and an asthmatic, I know nothing whatever about you.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
…but it is better to learn wisdom late than never to learn it at all.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
I can never bring you to realize the importance of sleeves, the suggestiveness of thumb-nails, or the great issues that may hang from a boot-lace.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
There seems to me to be absolutely no limit to the inanity and credulity of the human race. Homo Sapiens! Homo idioticus!
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
Detection is, or ought to be, an exact science, and should be treated in the same cold and unemotional manner. You have attempted to tinge it with romanticism, which produces much the same effect as if you worked a love-story or an elopement into the fifth proposition of Euclid.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
His ignorance was as remarkable as his knowledge. Of contemporary literature, philosophy and politics he appeared to know next to nothing... My surprise reached a climax, however, when I found incidentally that he was ignorant of the Copernican Theory and of the composition of the Solar System.

Keep your revolver near you night and day, and never relax your precautions.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
The larger crimes are apt to be the simpler, for the bigger the crime, the more obvious, as a rule, is the motive.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
We surely know by some nameless instinct more about our futures than we think we know.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
The world is big enough for us. No ghosts need apply.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
My name is Sherlock Holmes. It is my business to know what other people do not know.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
I have frequently gained my first real insight into the character of parents by studying their children.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
The Times is a paper which is seldom found in any hands but those of the highly educated.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
If my future were black, it was better surely to face it like a man than to attempt to brighten it by mere will-o’-the-wisps of the imagination.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
Nature is the true revelation of the Deity to man. The nearest green field is the inspired page from which you may read all that it is needful for you to know.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
It is with nations as it is with individuals. A book of history is a book of sermons.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
A client is to me a mere unit, a factor in a problem.
Arthur Conan Doyle

The most dangerous condition for a man or a nation is when his intellectual side is more developed than his spiritual. Is that not exactly the condition of the world today?
