Arthur Conan Doyle
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.

All other men are specialists, but his specialism is omniscience.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is a fool's plan to teach a man to be a cur in peace, and think that he will be a lion in war.
Arthur Conan Doyle
We must look for consistency. Where there is a want of it we must suspect deception.
