Even the best of us are thrown off some- times.

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
You yourself may not be luminous, but you are a conductor of light.
Arthur Conan Doyle

Arthur Conan Doyle
There are always some lunatics about. It would be a dull world without them.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I have mastered the principles of several religions. They have all shocked me by the violence which I should have to do to my reason to accept the dogmas of any one of them.
Arthur Conan Doyle
For the one and only time I caught a glimpse of a great heart as well as of a great brain.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The less experienced a doctor is, the higher are his notions of professional dignity . . .
Arthur Conan Doyle
Violence does, in truth, recoil upon the violent, and the schemer falls into the pit which he digs for another.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is a capital mistake to theorize before you have all the evidence. It biases the judgment.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Let us hear the suspicions. I will look after the proofs.
Arthur Conan Doyle
His sanguine spirit turns every firefly into a star.
Arthur Conan Doyle
A fine thought in fine language is a most precious jewel, and should not be hid away, but be exposed for use and ornament.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The goose we retained until this morning, when there were signs that, in spite of the slight frost, it would be well that it should be eaten without delay. Its finder has carried it off therefore to fulfil the ultimate destiny of a goose.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Skill is fine, and genius is splendid, but the right contacts are more valuable than either.
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
