More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Summer has set in with its usual severity.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Courage multiplies the chances of success by sometimes making opportunities, and always availing itself of them and in this sense Fortune may be said to favor fools by those who, however prudent in their opinion, are deficient in valor and enterprise.
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
The doing evil to avoid an evil cannot be good.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
My eyes make pictures when they are shut.
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
A man's desire is for the woman, but the woman's desire is rarely other than for the desire of the man.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And they three passed over the white sands, between the rocks, silent as the shadows.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Death but supplies the oil for the inextinguishable lamp of life.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Rage is essentially vulgar.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Let every book-worm, when in any fragrant, scarce old tome, he discovers a sentence, a story, an illustration, that does his heart good, hasten to give it the widest circulation that newspapers and magazines, penny and halfpenny, can afford.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Men, I still think, ought to be weighed not counted.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
To see him act is like reading Shakespeare by flashes of lightning.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The Eighth Commandment was not made for bards.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Life went a-maying With Nature, Hope, and Poesy, When I was young!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I may not hope from outward forms to win / The passion and the life, whose fountains are within.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
