More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And the Devil did grin, for his darling sin is pride that apes humility.
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
O let me be awake, my God! Or let me sleep alway.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Mr. Lyell's system of geology is just half the truth, and no more. He affirms a great deal that is true, and he denies a great deal which is equally true which is the general characteristic of all systems not embracing the whole truth.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The rules of prudence, like the laws of the stone tables, are for the most part prohibitive. Thou shalt not is their characteristic formula.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
To leave no interval between the sentence and the fulfillment of it doth beseem God only, the Immutable!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Everyone should have two or three hives of bees. Bees are easier to keep than a dog or a cat. They are more interesting than gerbils.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Bells, the poor man's only music.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Stimulate the heart to love and the mind to be early accurate, and all other virtues will rise of their own accord, and all vices will be thrown out.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
How well he fell asleepl Like some proud river, widening toward the sea Calmly and grandly, silently and deep, Life joined eternity.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And in Life's noisiest hour, There whispers still the ceaseless Love of Thee, The heart's Self-solace and soliloquy. You mould my Hopes, you fashion me within.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
You may depend upon it, religion is, in its essence, the most gentlemanly thing in the world. It will alone gentilize, if unmixed with cant and I know nothing else that will, alone. Certainly not the army, which is thought to be the grand embellisher of manners.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Contempt is egotism in ill- humor.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I have heard of reasons manifold Why Love must needs be blind, But this the best of all I hold,- His eyes are in his mind.
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
Oh, the difficulty of fixing the attention of men on the world within them!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Trochee trips from long to short From long to long in solemn sort Slow Spondee stalks.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The devil is not, indeed, perfectly humorous, but that is only because he is the extreme of all humor.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The doing evil to avoid an evil cannot be good.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Where virtue is, sensibility is the ornament and becoming attire of virtue. On certain occasions it may almost be said to become virtue. But sensibility and all the amiable qualities may likewise become, and too often have become, the panders of vice and the instruments of seduction.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
