Sherlock Holmes is one of the most well-known literary characters, and while “Elementary, my dear Watson” is his most famous piece of dialogue, this specific phrase was not written by Arthur Conan Doyle, nor is it featured in any of the books.

 "Elementary, my dear                                      Watson" 

One of the first times this dialogue, as it is, appeared, was in P.G. Wodehouse’s book, Psmith, Journalist, and it has since been commonly used in many movies.b

Origin of this dialogue

1) "No man burdens his mind with small matters unless he has some very good reason for doing so.” 2) “What you do in this world is a matter of no consequence. The question is what can you make people believe you have done.” 3)“My horror at his crimes was lost in my admiration at his skill.” 4) “Come at once if convenient—if inconvenient come all the same." 5) “There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.” 6) “The game is afoot.”

Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win. To know your Enemy, you must become your Enemy.Some may say that this is not practical in any sense.. But may I remind you that this is the best way to conquer anything. It does not mean that I am supportive of warfare . Here are some real life examples :<ul><li>Well the same principle is used in the martial art called Aikido in which the main goal is to subdue your opponent without causing least or any injury to opponent using locks ,takedowns etc.</li><li>Often conflicts occur between countries due to their difference in opinion in some matters . The best way to not kindle the conflict and reduce it is to find common ground and work together to find a solution that is satisfactory to both sides.</li></ul>

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without  fighting.

This is the world's first complete English translation of "The Art of War" and the most accurate English translation in the world. In 1772, "The Art of War" was translated into French by missionaries, and a book of military theory that had influenced China for more than two thousand years was officially introduced into the Western world. In 1910, Lionel Giles translated the first English version of "The Art of War". Until today, there are as many as twenty or thirty English translation versions. Among them, the one that best conveys the original meaning of "The Art of War" belongs to the version translated by Samuel B. Griffith in 1963. However, even with this version, the true meaning of the "The Art of War" that it can convey is actually only about 50%.
