In 'A Study in Scarlet': "The most commonplace crime is often the most mysterious, because it presents no new or special features from which deductions may be drawn."

In 'The Sign of Four': "Crime is commonplace, existence is commonplace, and no qualities save those which are commonplace have any function upon earth."

In 'The Red-Headed League': "As a rule, the more bizarre a thing is the less mysterious it proves to be. It is your commonplace, featureless crimes which are really puzzling, just as a commonplace face is the most difficult to identify."

In 'A Case of Identity': "Depend upon it there is nothing so unnatural as the commonplace."

In 'The Boscombe Valley Mystery': "Singularity is almost invariably a clue. The more featureless and commonplace a crime is, the more difficult is it to bring it home."

I think that about covers it.

What does Thomas Jefferson quote in his Commonplace Book about gun control?

Thomas Jefferson, in his book "Commonplace Book", quotes Cesare Beccaria on gun control.Laws that forbid the carrying of arms ... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes ... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.
