More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And in today already walks tomorrow.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
One thought includes all thought, in the sense that a grain of sand includes the universe.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The more sparingly we make use of nonsense, the better.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Motives are symptoms of weakness, and supplements for the deficient energy of the living principle, the law within us. Let them then be reserved for those momentous acts and duties in which the strongest and best-balanced natures must feel themselves deficient, and where humility no less than prudence prescribes deliberation.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
My eyes make pictures when they are shut.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Frenchmen are like gunpowder, each by itself smutty and contemptible, but mass them together and they are terrible indeed!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Let every book-worm, when in any fragrant, scarce old tome, he discovers a sentence, a story, an illustration, that does his heart good, hasten to give it the widest circulation that newspapers and magazines, penny and halfpenny, can afford.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Metaphysics,--the science which determines what can and what cannot be known of being and the laws of being.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
May all the stars hang bright above her dwelling, Silent as though they watched the sleeping earth!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A mother is a mother still, The holiest thing alive.
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
Often do the spirits stride on before the event and in today already walks tomorrow.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Clergymen who publish pious frauds in the interest of the church are the orthodox liars of God.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Her skin was white as leprosy.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Summer has set in with its usual severity.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A stately pleasure-dome decree.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Alas! they had been friends in youth but whispering tongues can poison truth.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
We ought not to extract pernicious honey from poison blossoms of misrepresentation and mendacious half-truth, to pamper the course appetite of bigotry and self-love.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
If a man is not rising upward to be an angel, depend on it, he is sinking downward to be a devil.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Great old books of the great old authors are not in everybody's reach and though it is better to know them thoroughly than to know them only here and there, yet it is a good work to give a little to those who have neither time nor means to get his own belief.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
