Sherlock Holmes

"My dear fellow, I have the greatest respect for your judgment."

"Really, Watson, I am ashamed of you."

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

"I detect some signs of love-making."

"It is not really difficult to construct a series of inferences, each dependent upon the other."

"I believe you are a man of some little confidence."

"It is of the highest importance that you should do exactly what I tell you."

"I have a curious constitution."

"The criminal is the creation of the social conditions."

"Violence does, in truth, recoil upon the violent."

"I had already intuited the possibility."

"I have nothing to offer but my life and my devotion to this cause."

"Woman's intuition is a wonderful thing."

"It is a capital mistake to theorize before you have all the evidence."

"The peculiar is not always the great."

"I find it stimulating to the imagination."

"You may be sure that there is something out of the ordinary about it."

"I have nothing to do today except to reflect upon the nature of evidence."

"You see, but you do not observe."

"Data! Data! Data! I can't make bricks without clay."

"It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data."

"The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes."

"I am a creature of habit and routine."

"To a great mind, nothing is little."

"You know my methods, Watson."

"Ah, I am glad to stretch myself, Watson."

"I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty attic."

"My dear Watson, you as a medical man are aware of the different nervous temperaments."

"Elementary, my dear fellow."

"I have nothing to do to-day; therefore the game is afoot."
