More quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
…but it is better to learn wisdom late than never to learn it at all.
Arthur Conan Doyle
There are times, young fellah, when every one of us must make a stand for human right and justice, or you never feel clean again.
Arthur Conan Doyle
He seems to have declared war on the King’s English as well as on the English king.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Mr. Sherlock Holmes, who was usually very late in the mornings, save upon those not infrequent occasions when he was up all night, was seated at the breakfast table. I stood upon the hearth-rug and picked up the stick which our visitor had left behind him the night before.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is, of course, a trifle, but there is nothing so important as trifles.
Arthur Conan Doyle
As a rule, said Holmes, the more bizarre a thing is the less mysterious it proves to be. It is your commonplace, featureless crimes which are really puzzling, just as a commonplace face is the most difficult to identify.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is all in the way of professional experience.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The love of books is among the choicest gifts of the gods.
Arthur Conan Doyle
My mind rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram, or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation.
Arthur Conan Doyle
When people bury treasure nowadays they do it in the Post-Office bank.
Arthur Conan Doyle
There is but one step from the grotesque to the horrible.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Of all ghosts the ghosts of our old loves are the worst.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Streams may spring from one source, and yet some be clear and some be foul.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Clouds of insects danced and buzzed in the golden autumn light, and the air was full of the piping of the song-birds. Long, glinting dragonflies shot across the path, or hung tremulous with gauzy wings and gleaming bodies.
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
Why should people ever take credit for charity when they must know that they cannot gain as much pleasure out of their guineas in any other fashion?
Arthur Conan Doyle
The grand thing is to be able to reason backwards.
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
He foresaw that she would be very much more useful to him in the character of a free woman.
Arthur Conan Doyle
