More quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
Dogs don't make mistakes.
Arthur Conan Doyle
When the impossible has been eliminated, all that remains no matter how improbable is possible.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I think that I had better go, Holmes. Not a bit, doctor. Stay where you are. I am lost without my Boswell.
Arthur Conan Doyle
And once again Mr. Sherlock Holmes is free to devote his life to examining those interesting little problems which the complexity of human life so pletifuly presents.
Arthur Conan Doyle
A change of work is the best rest.
Arthur Conan Doyle
His incredible untidiness, his addiction to music at strange hours, his occasional revolver practice within doors, his weird and often malodorous scientific experiments, and the atmosphere of violence and danger which hung around him made him the very worst tenant in London.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The approach to the offices of Girdlestone and Co. was not a very dignified one, nor would the uninitiated who traversed it form any conception of the commercial prosperity of the firm in question.
Arthur Conan Doyle
'It is my duty to warn you that it will be used against you,' cried the Inspector, with the magnificent fair play of the British criminal law.
Arthur Conan Doyle
[Sherlock Holmes:] The temptation to form premature theories upon insufficient data is the bane of our profession.
Arthur Conan Doyle
There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Some people's affability is more deadly than the violence of coarser souls.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Still, it is an error to argue in front of your data. You find yourself insensibly twisting them round to fit your theories.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The more outre' and grotesque an incident is the more carefully it deserves to be examined, and the very point which appears to complicate a case is, when duly considered and scientifically handled, the one which is most likely to elucidate it.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is not really difficult to construct a series of inferences, each dependent upon its predecessor and each simple in itself. If, after doing so, one simply knocks out all the central inferences and presents one's audience with the starting-point and the conclusion, one may produce a startling, though perhaps a meretricious, effect.
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
When people bury treasure nowadays they do it in the Post-Office bank.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It isn't true that the laws of nature have been capriciously disturbed that snakes have talked that women have been turned into salt that rods have brought water out of rocks.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Keep your revolver near you night and day, and never relax your precautions.
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
Anything is better than stagnation.
Arthur Conan Doyle
