Arthur Conan Doyle

My room at The Cedars is a double-bedded one.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Work is the best antidote to sorrow, my dear Watson.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I love and am loved by a better man than he.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The most winning woman I ever knew was hanged for poisoning three little children for their insurance-money, and the most repellent man of my acquaintance is a philanthropist who has spent nearly a quarter of a million upon the London poor.
Arthur Conan Doyle
A man should keep his little brain attic stocked with all the furniture that he is likely to use, and the rest he can put away in the lumber-room of his library, where he can get it if he wants it.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I wanted to end the world but,I'll settle for ending yours.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Keep your revolver near you night and day, and never relax your precautions.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Eliminate all other factors, and the one which remains must be the truth.
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

Arthur Conan Doyle
