Sherlock Holmes

"The game is afoot."

"Crime is common. Logic is rare."

"I have trained myself to notice what others overlook."

"The most interesting crimes are often found within the bosom of families."

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

"The impossible once eliminated, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth."

"I see no data yet."

"Singular! That is indeed singular."

"I am bound to say that in all the accounts which you have been so kind as to give of my own small achievements you have habitually underrated your own abilities."

"You have certainly destroyed my reputation, whatever the opposite may have done for you."

"It is fortunate for this community that I am not a criminal."

"I am lost without my Boswell."

"The matter is so delicate that I think in the first instance I should beg for a short interview with Colonel Emsworth, and only in the event of his refusal would I apply to a full investigation."

"Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers."

"It is my business to know things."

"You may have observed that in this notebook I jot down these singular cases."

"I never remember faces, but I never forget a case."

"London has the most singular and sinful record of any city in the world."

"How the world changes, and yet how little we change with it."

"Ah, the typical lawyer to whom the unusual is abhorrent."

"Nothing clears up a case so much as stating it to another person."

"You are yourself luminous in the darkness."

"I can discover facts, Watson, but I cannot change them."

"It is quite a three pipe problem, and I beg that you won't speak to me for fifty minutes."

"What of the rat?"

"The woman sleeps well, and trusts me completely."

"You have it, Watson. You have become positively encyclopedic."

"It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important."

"Ah, what an old fox it is. What a woman! Oblige me by reading that passage."

"I have no data. I cannot tell."
