More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Joy rises in me, like a summer's morn.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
One thought includes all thought, in the sense that a grain of sand includes the universe.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
No voice but oh - the silence sank Like music on my heart.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The doing evil to avoid an evil cannot be good.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Like one, that on a lonesome road Doth walk in fear and dread, And having once turned round walks on, And turns no more his head Because he knows, a frightful fiend Doth close behind him tread.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Often do the spirits stride on before the event and in today already walks tomorrow.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Seldom can philosophic genius be more usefully employed than in thus rescuing admitted truths from the neglect caused by the very circumstance of their universal admission.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The three great ends which a statesman ought to propose to himself in the government of a nation are, — 1. Security to possessors 2. Facility to acquirers and 3. Hope to all.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
