Image
In the deepest night of trouble and sorrow God gives us so much to be thankful for that we need never cease our singing. With all our wisdom and foresight we can take a lesson in gladness and gratitude from the happy bird that sings all night, as if the day were not long enough to tell its joy.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Facts are not truths they are not conclusions they are not even premises, but in the nature and parts of premises.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
To leave no interval between the sentence and the fulfillment of it doth beseem God only, the Immutable!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Summer has set in with its usual severity.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Metaphysics,--the science which determines what can and what cannot be known of being and the laws of being.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Laughter is equally the expression of extreme anguish and horror as of joy: as there are tears of sorrow and tears of joy, so is there a laugh of terror and a laugh of merriment.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. For what is enthusiasm but the oblivion and swallowing-up of self in an object dearer than self?
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
You may depend upon it, religion is, in its essence, the most gentlemanly thing in the world. It will alone gentilize, if unmixed with cant and I know nothing else that will, alone. Certainly not the army, which is thought to be the grand embellisher of manners.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Good and bad men are each less so than they seem.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Death but supplies the oil for the inextinguishable lamp of life.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
An orphan's curse would drag to hell, a spirit from on high but oh! more horrible than that, is a curse in a dead man's eye!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
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
Image
I dislike the frequent use of the word virtue, instead of righteousness, in the pulpit in prayer or preaching before a Christian community, it sounds too much like pagan philosophy.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Law grows, and though the principles of law remain unchanged, yet (and it is one of the advantages of the common law) their application is to be changed with the changing circumstances of the times. Some persons may call this retrogression, I call it progression of human opinion.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Until you understand a writer's ignorance, presume yourself ignorant of his understanding.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
I may not hope from outward forms to win / The passion and the life, whose fountains are within.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
A spring of love gush'd from my heart, And I bless'd them unaware.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
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
Image
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
