WORDS OF WISDOM SPOKEN BY THE GREAT DETECTIVE: SHERLOCK HOMES

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.

I never make exceptions. An exception disproves the rule.

You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear.

It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.

Eliminate all other factors, and the one which remains must be the truth.

I never guess. It is a shocking habit – destructive to the logical faculty.

Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent.

The little things are infinitely the most important.

It is more than possible; it is probable.

Any truth is better than indefinite doubt.

Results without causes are much more impressive.

What one man can invent another can discover.

There is no part of the body which varies so much as the human ear.

Education never ends Watson. It is a series of lessons with the greatest for the last.

Everything in this world is relative, my dear Watson

Indeed, I cannot think why the whole bed of the ocean is not one solid mass of oysters, so prolific the creatures seem.

A complex mind. All great criminals have that.

When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

It is simpler to deal direct.

Dogs don't make mistakes.

The highest type of man may revert to the animal if he leaves the straight road of destiny.

When one tries to rise above Nature one is liable to fall below it.
