More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Water cannot rise higher than its source, neither can human reason.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Work without hope draws nectar in a sieve, And hope without an object cannot live.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The Eighth Commandment was not made for bards.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I am sure from my experience of juries that, in a criminal case especially, they will obey the law as declared by the Judge they will take the law from the Judge, whether they like it or do not like it, and apply it honestly to the facts before them.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
To be beloved is all I need, And whom I love, I love indeed.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

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
A man's as old as he's feeling. A woman as old as she looks.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
If a man is not rising upward to be an angel, depend on it, he is sinking downward to be a devil.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The more sparingly we make use of nonsense, the better.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Works of imagination should be written in very plain language the more purely imaginative they are the more necessary it is to be plain.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Plagiarists are always suspicious of being stolen from, as pickpockets are observed commonly to walk with their hands in their breeches' pockets.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
