Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And they three passed over the white sands, between the rocks, silent as the shadows.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
He is the best physician who is the most ingenious inspirer of hope.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The present system of taking oaths is horrible. It is awfully absurd to make a man invoke God's wrath upon himself, if he speaks false it is, in my judgment, a sin to do so.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A man may devote himself to death and destruction to save a nation but no nation will devote itself to death and destruction to save mankind.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The form is mechanic when on any given material we impress a predetermined form. The organic form, on the other hand, is innate, it shapes as it develops itself from within.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Veracity does not consist in saying, but in the intention of communicating the truth.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
