More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Ah! from the soul itself must issue forth A light, a glory, a fair luminous cloud Enveloping the Earth And from the soul itself must there be sent A sweet and potent voice, of its own birth Of all sweet sounds the life and element!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
To doubt has more of faith ... than that blank negation of all such thoughts and feelings which is the lot of the herd of church-and-meeting trotters.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Rage is essentially vulgar.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
We should manage our thoughts as shepherds do their flowers in making a garland: first, select the choicest, and then dispose them in the most proper places, that every one may reflect a part of its color and brightness on the next.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
O let me be awake, my God! Or let me sleep alway.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The first man of science was he who looked into a thing, not to learn whether it furnished him with food, or shelter, or weapons, or tools, armaments, or playwiths but who sought to know it for the gratification of knowing.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The act of praying is the very highest energy of which the human mind is capable praying, that is, with the total concentration of the faculties. The great mass of worldly men and of learned men are absolutely incapable of prayer.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
All men, even the most surly are influenced by affection.
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
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
Method means primarily a way or path of transit. From this we are to understand that the first idea of method is a progressive transition from one step to another in any course. If in the right course, it will be the true method if in the wrong, we cannot hope to progress.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
He who begins by loving Christianity more than Truth, will proceed by loving his sect or church better than Christianity, and end in loving himself better than all.
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
Love is the admiration and cherishing of the amiable qualities of the beloved person, upon the condition of yourself being the object of their action.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
We have to administer the law whether we like it or no.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
How like herrings and onions our vices are in the morning after we have committed them.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
One thought includes all thought, in the sense that a grain of sand includes the universe.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I never knew a trader in philanthropy who was not wrong in his head or heart somewhere or other.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Trochee trips from long to short From long to long in solemn sort Slow Spondee stalks.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Our own heart, and not other men's opinion, forms our true honor.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
