More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
If you wish to assured of the truth of Christianity, try it. Believe, and if thy belief be right, that insight which gradually transmutes faith into knowledge will be the reward of thy belief.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Never yet did there exist a full faith in the Divine Word (by whom light as well as immortality was brought into the world) which did not expand the intellect, while it purified the heart--which did not multiply the aims and objects of the understanding, while it fixed and simplified those of the desires and passions.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Democracy is the healthful lifeblood which circulates through the veins and arteries, which supports the system, but which ought never to appear externally, and as the mere blood itself.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Ah! well a-day! what evil looks / Had I from old and young! / Instead of the cross, the Albatross / About my neck was hung.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A spring of love gush'd from my heart, And I bless'd them unaware.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The moving moon went up the sky, And nowhere did abide: Softly she was going up, And a star or two beside.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Life went a-maying With Nature, Hope, and Poesy, When I was young!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Cant is the parrot talk of a profession.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
On the Greek stage a drama, or acted story, consisted in reality of three dramas, called together a trilogy, and performed consecutively in the course of one day.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The Reformation in the sixteenth century narrowed Reform. As soon as men began to call themselves names, all hope of further amendment was lost.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Where virtue is, sensibility is the ornament and becoming attire of virtue. On certain occasions it may almost be said to become virtue. But sensibility and all the amiable qualities may likewise become, and too often have become, the panders of vice and the instruments of seduction.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
To know, to esteem, to love,-and then to part, Makes up life's tale to many a feeling heart.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
For compassion a human heart suffices, but for full and adequate sympathy, with joy, an angel's only.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I love being superior to myself better than [to] my equals.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Trochee trips from long to short From long to long in solemn sort Slow Spondee stalks.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
He who begins by loving Christianity more than Truth, will proceed by loving his sect or church better than Christianity, and end in loving himself better than all.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
No mind is thoroughly well organized that is deficient in a sense of humor.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And they three passed over the white sands, between the rocks, silent as the shadows.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Method means primarily a way or path of transit. From this we are to understand that the first idea of method is a progressive transition from one step to another in any course. If in the right course, it will be the true method if in the wrong, we cannot hope to progress.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
To all new truths, or renovation of old truths, it must be as in the ark between the destroyed and the about-to-be renovated world. The raven must be sent out before the dove, and ominous controversy must precede peace and the olive wreath.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
