Samuel Taylor Coleridge
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
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
O pure of heart! Thou needest not ask of me what this strong music in the soul may be!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

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
Religion is the most gentlemanly thing in the world. It alone will gentilize, if unmixed with cant.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The Beautiful arises from the perceived harmony of an object, whether sight or sound, with the inborn and constitutive rules of the judgment and imagination: and it is always intuitive.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The juggle of sophistry consists, for the most part, in using a word in one sense in all the premises, and in another sense in the conclusion.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Works of imagination should be written in very plain language the more purely imaginative they are the more necessary it is to be plain.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Perhaps 'tis pretty to force together Thoughts so all unlike each other To mutter and mock a broken charm, To dally with wrong that does no harm.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And I, the while, the sole unbusy thing, Nor honey make, nor pair, nor build, nor sing.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
