Samuel Taylor Coleridge
All nature seems at work.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Let every book-worm, when in any fragrant, scarce old tome, he discovers a sentence, a story, an illustration, that does his heart good, hasten to give it the widest circulation that newspapers and magazines, penny and halfpenny, can afford.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Not one man in a thousand has either strength of mind or goodness of heart to be an atheist.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Frenchmen are like gunpowder, each by itself smutty and contemptible, but mass them together and they are terrible indeed!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Reviewers are usually people who would have been, poets, historians, biographer, if they could. They have tried their talents at one thing or another and have failed therefore they turn critic.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
God is everywhere! the God who framed Mankind to be one, mighty family, Himself our Father, and the world our home.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
