More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The wise only possess ideas the greater part of mankind are possessed by them.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Joy rises in me, like a summer's morn.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A single thought is that which it is from other thoughts as a wave of the sea takes its form and shape from the waves which precede and follow it.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
All sympathy not consistent with acknowledged virtue is but disguised selfishness.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The first man of science was he who looked into a thing, not to learn whether it furnished him with food, or shelter, or weapons, or tools, armaments, or playwiths but who sought to know it for the gratification of knowing.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Genius of the highest kind implies an unusual intensity of the modifying power.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The present system of taking oaths is horrible. It is awfully absurd to make a man invoke God's wrath upon himself, if he speaks false it is, in my judgment, a sin to do so.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
It cannot but be injurious to the human mind never to be called into effort: the habit of receiving pleasure without any exertion of thought, by the mere excitement of curiosity, and sensibility, may be justly ranked among the worst effects of habitual novel-reading.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I love being superior to myself better than [to] my equals.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Why is it that so many of us persist in thinking that autumn is a sad season? Nature has merely fallen asleep, and her dreams must be beautiful if we are to judge by her countenance.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
It [is] very unfair to influence a child's mind by inculcating any opinions before it [has] come to years of discretion to choose for itself.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Within today, tomorrow is already walking.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
All thoughts, all passions, all delights Whatever stirs this mortal frame All are but ministers of Love And feed His sacred flame.
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
The devil is not, indeed, perfectly humorous, but that is only because he is the extreme of all humor.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A stately pleasure-dome decree.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Work without hope draws nectar in a sieve, And hope without an object cannot live.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I never knew a trader in philanthropy who was not wrong in his head or heart somewhere or other.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Friends should be weighed, not told who boasts to have won a multitude of friends has never had one.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Clergymen who publish pious frauds in the interest of the church are the orthodox liars of God.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
