God bless us! Why does fate always play such tricks on all living beings who are poor and helpless? Whenever I hear about cases like this, I think of Baxter's words and say, 'It was God's blessing that Sherlock Holmes was able to solve the case. ’. ——"The Mystery of Boscombe Vale"

God help us. Why does fate play such tricks with poor, helpless worms? I never hear of such a case as this that I do not think of Baxter's words, and say, 'There, but for the grace of God, goes Sherlock Holmes.'.—— The Boscombe Valley Mystery

We pursue, we want to seize. But what are we left with in the end? A phantom, or worse than a phantom—pain. ——"The Retired Colorman"

We reach. We grasp. And what is left in our hands at the end? A shadow. Or worse than a shadow — misery.—— The Retired Colorman

That's the lighthouse, my man! A beacon of the future! Each lighthouse is filled with thousands of brilliant little seeds, and Britain will be wiser and stronger in their generation in the future. ——"Naval Agreement"

Light-houses, my boy! Beacons of the future! Capsules with hundreds of bright little seeds in each, out of which will spring the wise, better England of the future.— — The Naval Treaty

…Oh, how lovely these roses are! ...Nothing in the world requires reasoning more than religion. ... Reasoning may be gradually established as a sophisticated subject by reasoning scholars. According to the law of reasoning, it seems to me that the highest belief we can have in the mercy of God is to be found in flowers. Because everything else: our abilities, our desires, our food, all are first and foremost necessary for survival. But this flower is completely different. Its fragrance and its color are embellishments of life, not conditions for survival. Only kindness can produce these extraordinary qualities. So I say again, humanity has great hopes in flowers. ——"Naval Agreement"

What a lovely thing a rose is!...There is nothing in which deduction is so necessary as in religion,...It can be built up as an exact science by the reasoner . Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers. All other things, our powers our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But this rose is an extra. Its smell and its color are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers. —— The Naval Treaty

Brother Watson! You are truly a constant in these changing times. The east wind will blow. Such winds have never blown in England. This wind will be very cold and very strong, Watson. When this wind blows, many of us may wither. But it is still the wind of God. After the storm has passed, a purer, better, and stronger land will stand under the sun.

——"Final Salute—The Closing Speech of Sherlock Holmes"

Good old Watson! You are the one fixed point in a changing age. There's an east wind coming all the same, such a wind as never blew on England yet. It will be cold and bitter, Watson, and a good many of us may wither before its blast. But it's God's own wind none the less, and a cleaner, better, stronger land will lie in the sunshine when the storm has cleared. Start her up, Watson, for it's time that we were on our way. I have a check for five hundred pounds which should be cashed early, for the drawer is quite capable of stopping it if he can. —— His Last Bow — An Epilogue of Sherlock Holmes

I disagree with some people who list humility as a virtue. For logicians, everything is what it should be, and underestimating oneself is as contrary to truth as exaggerating one's talents. ——"Greek Translator"

I cannot agree with those who rank modesty among the virtues. To the logician all things should be seen exactly as they are, and to underestimate one`s self is as much a departure from truth as to exaggerate one`s own powers.—— The Greek Interpreter

It’s up to you to laugh and scold, I do it myself; I have thousands of treasures, but I am the only one who rewards them. ——A Study in Scarlet, from the Roman Miser

Populus me sibilat, at mihi plaudo Ipse domi simul ac nummos contemplar in arca.——A Study in Scarlet, from the Roman Miser

God only created you in human form. It turns out that you are decent on the surface but rogue on the inside. ——The Sign of Four, lines of old Goethe < /p>

We are used to some people being sarcastic about things they don’t understand. ——The Sign of Four, Goethe

Wir sind gewohnt das die Menschen verhoehnen was sie nicht verstehen.——The Sign of Four, Goethe

For an impatient world Suffering with perseverance and patience is in itself a most precious example. "The Veiled Lodger"

The example of patient suffering is in itself the most precious of all lessons to an impatient world. ——The Veiled Lodger

Please come immediately if you have time Come - come even if there is no time.

... Please think about those who pursue material, sensual and Those who enjoy worldly pleasures prolong their worthless lives, while those who pursue spiritual values ??are unwilling to violate their higher calling. The result is the survival of the most unfit. In this way, doesn’t the world become a cesspool? ——"Crawler"

Consider, ...that the material, the sensual, the worldly would all prolong their worthless lives. The spiritual would not avoid the call to something higher. It would be the survival of the least fit. What sort of cesspool may not our poor world become? ——The Creeping Man

If a man wants to be above nature, he will fall below nature. The highest man becomes an animal when he is separated from the broad road of human destiny. ——"Crawling Man"

When one tries to rise above Nature one is liable to fall below it. The highest type of man may revert to the animal if he leaves the straight road of destiny. ——The Creeping Man

The game is afoot. - The Abbey Grange

This famous line comes from "The Grange" and we believe it was inspired by Shakespeare's play "Henry IV":

Before the game is afoot, thou still let'st slip. —— Shakespeare`s King Henry IV

Before the game is afoot, thou still let'st slip. Leaked secrets recklessly.
