When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

About This Quote

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a famous author and physician, once said: "When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." This saying means that it is impossible to know all the answers at once, but that if we work hard, we can come as close as possible to solving all the riddles of life.
