More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Flowers are lovely love is flower-like Friendship is a sheltering tree Oh the joys that came down shower-like, Of friendship, love, and liberty, Ere I was old!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Not one man in a thousand has either strength of mind or goodness of heart to be an Atheist. I repeat it. Not one man in a thousand has either strength of mind or goodness of heart to be an Atheist.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And in Life's noisiest hour, There whispers still the ceaseless Love of Thee, The heart's Self-solace and soliloquy. You mould my Hopes, you fashion me within.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
For mother's sake the child was dear, and dearer was the mother for the child.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
How like herrings and onions our vices are in the morning after we have committed them.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I may not hope from outward forms to win / The passion and the life, whose fountains are within.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
We have to administer the law whether we like it or no.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Men of genius are rarely much annoyed by the company of vulgar people.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Alas! they had been friends in youth but whispering tongues can poison truth.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Never can true courage dwell with them, Who, playing tricks with conscience, dare not look At their own vices.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Boys and girls, And women, that would groan to see a child Pull off an insect's leg, all read of war, The best amusement for our morning meal.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
