More quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
I get in the dumps at times, and don't open my mouth for days on end. You must not think I am sulky when I do that. Just let me alone, and I'll soon be right.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The emotional qualities are antagonistic to clear reasoning.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is quite a three pipe problem, and I beg that you won't speak to me for fifty minutes.
Arthur Conan Doyle
When we think how narrow and devious this path of nature is, how dimly we can trace it, for all our lamps of science, and how from the darkness which girds it round great and terrible possibilities loom ever shadowly upwards, it is a bold and a confident man who will put a limit to the strange by-oaths into which the human spirit may wander.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I am engaged in answering that Italian buffoon, Mazotti, whose views upon the larval development of the tropical termites have excited my derision and contempt . . .
Arthur Conan Doyle
Several incidents in my life have convinced me of spiritual interposition - of the promptings of some beneficent force outside ourselves, which tries to help us where it can.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Populus me sibilat, at mihi plaudo Ipse domi stimul ac nummos contemplar in arca. (The public hiss at me, but I cheer myself when in my own house I contemplate the coins in my strong-box.)
Arthur Conan Doyle
The lowest and vilest alleys of London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Steel True, Blade Straight.
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
The ideal reasoner, he remarked, would, when he had once been shown a single fact in all its bearings, deduce from it not only all the chain of events which led up to it but also all the results which would follow from it.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Come what may, I am bound to think that all things are ordered for the best though when the good is a furlong off, and we with our beetle eyes can only see three inches, it takes some confidence in general principles to pull us through.
Arthur Conan Doyle
When once your point of view is changed, the very thing which was so damning becomes a clue to the truth.
Arthur Conan Doyle
So all life is a great chain, the nature of which is known whenever we are shown a link of it.
Arthur Conan Doyle
What you do in this world is a matter of no consequence. The question is, what can you make people believe that you have done?
Arthur Conan Doyle
It seems very strange ... that in the course of the world's history so obvious an improvement should never have been adopted. ... The next generation of Britishers would be the better for having had this extra hour of daylight in their childhood.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is of the highest importance in the art of detection to be able to recognise out of a number of facts which are incidental and which are vital.
Arthur Conan Doyle
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
It is a great thing to start life with a small number of really good books which are your very own.
Arthur Conan Doyle
