To believe and to understand are not diverse things, but the same things in different periods of growth.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Joy rises in me, like a summer's morn.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
He is the best physician who is the most ingenious inspirer of hope.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
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
O let me be awake, my God! Or let me sleep alway.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
No voice but oh - the silence sank Like music on my heart.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Veracity does not consist in saying, but in the intention of communicating the truth.
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
Boys and girls, And women, that would groan to see a child Pull off an insect's leg, all read of war, The best amusement for our morning meal.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I stood in unimaginable trance And agony that cannot be remembered.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Religion is the most gentlemanly thing in the world. It alone will gentilize, if unmixed with cant.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
