More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Those who best know human nature will acknowledge most fully what a strength light hearted nonsense give to a hard working man
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The principle of the Gothic architecture is infinity made imaginable. It is no doubt a sublimer effort of genius than the Greek style but then it depends much more on execution for its effect.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Men, I still think, ought to be weighed not counted.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Genius is the power of carrying the feelings of childhood into the powers of manhood.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And to be wroth with one we love…Doth work like madness in the brain.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Alas! they had been friends in youth But whispering tongues can poison truth, And constancy lives in realms above And life is thorny, and youth is vain And to be wroth with one we love Doth work like madness in the brain.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
We ne'er can be Made happy by compulsion.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Love is flower like Friendship is like a sheltering tree.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Not one man in a thousand has either strength of mind or goodness of heart to be an atheist.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
One thought includes all thought, in the sense that a grain of sand includes the universe.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Health is a great blessing--competence obtained by honorable industry is a great blessing--and a great blessing it is to have kind, faithful, and loving friends and relatives but, that the greatest of all blessings, as it is the most ennobling of all privileges, is to be indeed a Christian.
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
Earth, with her thousand voices, praises God.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
My eyes make pictures when they are shut.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The juggle of sophistry consists, for the most part, in using a word in one sense in all the premises, and in another sense in the conclusion.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure-dome decree: Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man Down to a sunless sea.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Alone, Alone, all, all alone, Alone on a wide wide sea! And never saint took pity on My soul in agony
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A stately pleasure-dome decree.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Never yet did there exist a full faith in the Divine Word (by whom light as well as immortality was brought into the world) which did not expand the intellect, while it purified the heart--which did not multiply the aims and objects of the understanding, while it fixed and simplified those of the desires and passions.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
