More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
If people could learn history, what lessons it might teach us!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Intellect really exists in its products its kingdom is here.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Brute animals have the vowel sounds man only can utter consonants.
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
And to be wroth with one we love…Doth work like madness in the brain.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
God is everywhere! the God who framed Mankind to be one, mighty family, Himself our Father, and the world our home.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
