More quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
Violence is sometimes a duty.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Even the best of us are thrown off some- times.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The ways of fate are indeed hard to understand. If there is not some compensation hereafter, then the world is a cruel jest.
Arthur Conan Doyle
There are heroisms all round us waiting to be done.
Arthur Conan Doyle
My mind rebels at stagnation, give me problems, give me work!
Arthur Conan Doyle
Anything seems commonplace, once explained.
Arthur Conan Doyle
A sandwich and a cup of coffee, and then off to violin-land, where all is sweetness and delicacy and harmony.
Arthur Conan Doyle
What a creature he was! Never have I felt such a horse between my knees. His great haunches gathered under him with every stride, and he shot forward ever faster and faster, stretched like a greyhound, while the windbeat in my face and whistled past my ears.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I know, my dear Watson, that you share my love of all that is bizarre and outside the conventions and humdrum routine of daily life.
Arthur Conan Doyle
What can we know? What are we all? Poor silly half-brained things peering out at the infinite, with the aspirations of angels and the instinct of beasts.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is always a joy to meet an American, Mr. Moulton, for I am one of those who believes that the folly of a monarch and the blundering of a minister in far-gone years will not prevent our children from being some day citizens of the same world-wide country under a flag which shall be a quartering of the Union Jack with the Stars and Stripes.
Arthur Conan Doyle
We can't command our love, but we can our actions.
Arthur Conan Doyle
You know my methods. Apply them.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.
Arthur Conan Doyle
No man burdens his mind with small matters unless he has some very good reason for doing so.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The good Watson had at that time deserted me for a wife, the only selfish action I can recall in our association. I was alone.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Holy Men! Holy Cabbages! Holy Bean Pods! What do they do but live and suck in sustenance and grow fat?
Arthur Conan Doyle
The Press, Watson, is a most valuable institution, if you only know how to use it.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Depend upon it, there is nothing so unnatural as the commonplace.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It was easier to know it than to explain why I know it. If you were asked to prove that two and two made four, you might find some difficulty, and yet you are quite sure of the fact. ~ Sherlock Holmes
Arthur Conan Doyle
