More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Remorse weeps tears of blood.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
For mother's sake the child was dear, and dearer was the mother for the child.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
He prayeth best who loveth best.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And in today already walks tomorrow.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The best part of human language, properly so called, is derived from reflection on the acts of the mind itself.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Exclusively of the abstract sciences, the largest and worthiest portion of our knowledge consists of aphorisms: and the greatest and best of men is but an aphorism.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I do not call the sod under my feet my country but language-religion-government-blood-identity in these makes men of one country.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The true key to the declension of the Roman empire which is not to be found in all Gibbon 's immense work may be stated in two words: the imperial character overlaying, and finally destroying, the national character. Rome under Trajan was an empire without a nation.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Trochee trips from long to short From long to long in solemn sort Slow Spondee stalks.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I know the Bible is inspired because it finds me at greater depths of my being than any other book.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A great mind must be androgynous.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
To all new truths, or renovation of old truths, it must be as in the ark between the destroyed and the about-to-be renovated world. The raven must be sent out before the dove, and ominous controversy must precede peace and the olive wreath.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Motives by excess reverse their very nature and instead of exciting, stun and stupefy the mind.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.
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
Oh sleep! it is a gentle thing, Beloved from pole to pole.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And I, the while, the sole unbusy thing, Nor honey make, nor pair, nor build, nor sing.
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
We have no adequate conception of the perfection of the ancient tragic dance. The pleasure which the greeks received from it had for its basis difference & the more unfit the vehicle, the more lively was the curiosity & intense the delights at seeing the difficulty overcome.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The necessity for external government to man is in an inverse ratio to the vigor of his self-government. Where the last is most complete, the first is least wanted. Hence, the more virtue the more liberty.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
