Fencing & Sherlock Holmes

With the release of the new Sherlock Holmes film I thought I’d post some of his quotes which in my opinion relate well to fencing. Which is after all, all about solving problems……..


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

“The little things are infinitely the most important”

“There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact”

“There should be no combination of events for which the wit of man cannot conceive an explanation”

“Education never ends Watson. It is a series of lesson with the greatest for last”

“Things must be done decently and in order”

“We can but try”

Think about them and see if you can see the relevance.......
