Today is Sherlock Holmes Day. 10 quotes from Sherlock Holmes:
There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.
Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself; but talent instantly recognises genius.
My name is Sherlock Holmes. It is my business to know what other people do not know.
When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
You have a grand gift for silence, Watson. It makes you quite invaluable as a companion.
Education never ends, Watson. It is a series of lessons, with the greatest for the last.
What you do in this world is a matter of no consequence. The question is what can you make people believe you have done.
To a great mind, nothing is little.
You see, but you do not observe.
It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.
