More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The act of praying is the very highest energy of which the human mind is capable praying, that is, with the total concentration of the faculties. The great mass of worldly men and of learned men are absolutely incapable of prayer.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Perhaps 'tis pretty to force together Thoughts so all unlike each other To mutter and mock a broken charm, To dally with wrong that does no harm.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
For she belike hath drunken deep Of all the blessedness of sleep.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The curiosity of an honorable mind willingly rests there, where the love of truth does not urge it farther onward, and the love of its neighbor bids it stop in other words, it willingly stops at the point where the interests of truth do not beckon it onward, and charity cries, Halt!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
No man was ever yet a great poet, without being at the same time a profound philosopher. For poetry is the blossom and the fragrance of all human knowledge, human thoughts, human passions, emotions, language.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Carved with figures strange and sweet, All made out of the carver's brain.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Alas! they had been friends in youth but whispering tongues can poison truth.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Why is it that so many of us persist in thinking that autumn is a sad season? Nature has merely fallen asleep, and her dreams must be beautiful if we are to judge by her countenance.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Mr. Lyell's system of geology is just half the truth, and no more. He affirms a great deal that is true, and he denies a great deal which is equally true which is the general characteristic of all systems not embracing the whole truth.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Prayer is the very highest energy of which the mind is capable.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Tranquillity! thou better name Than all the family of Fame.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Mr. Mum's Rudesheimer And the church of St. Geryon Are the two things alone That deserve to be known In the body-and-soul-stinking town of Cologne.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
We have to administer the law whether we like it or no.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
He holds him with his glittering eye, And listens like a three years' child.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
...in consequence of the film of familiarity and selfish solicitude, we have eyes yet see not, ears that hear not, and hearts that neither feel nor understand.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Guilt is a timorous thing ere perpetration despair alone makes guilty men be bold.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A grief without a pang, void, dark and drear, A drowsy, stifled, unimpassioned grief, Which finds no natural outlet or relief, In word, or sigh, or tear.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Experience informs us that the first defence of weak minds is to recriminate.
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
And to be wroth with one we loveā¦Doth work like madness in the brain.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
