Quotables from "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes"...


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

“When a doctor does go wrong he is the first of criminals.” 

“It's a wicked world, and when a clever man turns his brain to crime it is the worst of all.”

“Omne ignotum pro magnifico,” (All have great unknown)

"The little things are infinitely the most important."

"Never trust to general impressions, my boy, but concentrate yourself upon details."

"There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact."

"Only one important thing has happened in the last three days, and that is that nothing has happened."

"One should always look for a possible alternative, and provide against it. It is the first rule of criminal investigation."

"What one man can invent another can discover."

“Art in the blood is liable to take the strangest forms.”
