More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Veracity does not consist in saying, but in the intention of communicating the truth.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Sir, I admit your general rule, That every poet is a fool, But you yourself may serve to show it, That every fool is not a poet.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Work without hope draws nectar in a sieve, And hope without an object cannot live.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And here were forests ancient as the hills, Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And in today already walks tomorrow.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Often do the spirits stride on before the event and in today already walks tomorrow.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A grief without a pang, void, dark and drear, A drowsy, stifled, unimpassioned grief, Which finds no natural outlet or relief, In word, or sigh, or tear.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Clergymen who publish pious frauds in the interest of the church are the orthodox liars of God.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Painting is the intermediate somewhat between a thought and a thing.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
He prayeth best, who loveth best All things both great and small For the dear God who loveth us, He made and loveth all.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Experience informs us that the first defence of weak minds is to recriminate.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
How well he fell asleepl Like some proud river, widening toward the sea Calmly and grandly, silently and deep, Life joined eternity.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Prayer is the very highest energy of which the mind is capable.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Greatness and goodness are not means, but ends! Hath he not always treasures, always friends, The good great man? Three treasures, love and light, And calm thoughts, regular as infants' breath And three firm friends, more sure than day and night, Himself, his Maker, and the angel Death.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Never pursue literature as a trade.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Men, I still think, ought to be weighed not counted.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And I, the while, the sole unbusy thing, Nor honey make, nor pair, nor build, nor sing.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I do not wish you to act from these truths no, still and always act from your feelings only meditate often on these truths that sometime or other they may become your feelings.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Is duty a mere sport, or an employ! Life an entrusted talent or a toy!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
To be beloved is all I need, And whom I love, I love indeed.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
