Arthur Conan Doyle
I should have more faith, he said I ought to know by this time that when a fact appears opposed to a long train of deductions it invariably proves to be capable of bearing some other interpretation.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The best way of successfully acting a part is to be it.
Arthur Conan Doyle

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
Violence is sometimes a duty.

The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor
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
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
I am the most incurably lazy devil that ever stood in shoe leather.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I suppose I shall have to compound a felony as usual.
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
If you want to write good copy, you must be where the things are.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I never guess. It is a shocking habit destructive to the logical faculty.
Arthur Conan Doyle
No man burdens his mind with small matters unless he has some very good reason for doing so.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It's a wicked world, and when a clever man turns his brain to crime it is the worst of all.
Arthur Conan Doyle
We tottered together upon the brink of the fall. I have some knowledge, however, of baritsu, or the Japanese system of wrestling, which has more than once been very useful to me. I slipped through his grip, and he with a horrible scream kicked madly for a few seconds and clawed the air with both his hands.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The future was with Fate. The present was our own.
Arthur Conan Doyle
