How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?

Arthur Conan Doyle

When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

Arthur Conan Doyle

Sherlock Holmes observed that once you have eliminated the impossible then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the answer. I, however, do not like to eliminate the impossible.

Douglas Adams

Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.

Arthur Conan Doyle

When you have eliminated the impossible, what is left, no matter how unlikely, is the truth.

Arthur Conan Doyle

I reject your impossible. Most of what others tell me is impossible I know to be improbable. If it is impossible you have nothing more to do but if it is improbable...you can choose to ask the unasked question or walk the unwalked step. For me that has made all the difference.

Gary Holder-Winfield

The impossible often has a kind of integrity to it which the merely improbable lacks. How often have you been presented with an apparently rational explanation of something that works in all respects other than one, which is just that it is hopelessly improbable? Your instinct is to say, 'Yes, but he or she simply wouldn't do that.

Douglas Adams

It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

Arthur Conan Doyle

Farce treats the improbable as probable, the impossible as possible.

George Pierce Baker

With respect to the requirement of art, the probable impossible is always preferable to the improbable possible.

Aristotle

Eliminate the impossible. Then if nothing remains, some part of the 'impossible' was possible.

Anthony Boucher

It's possible to go on, no matter how impossible it seems.

Nicholas Sparks

Possible is more a matter of attitude, a matter of decision, to choose among the impossible possibilities, when one sound opportunity becomes a possible solution.
