More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I have seen great intolerance shown in support of tolerance.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
He is the best physician who is the most ingenious inspirer of hope.
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 people could learn history, what lessons it might teach us!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The moving moon went up the sky, And nowhere did abide: Softly she was going up, And a star or two beside.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Democracy is the healthful lifeblood which circulates through the veins and arteries, which supports the system, but which ought never to appear externally, and as the mere blood itself.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Health is a great blessing--competence obtained by honorable industry is a great blessing--and a great blessing it is to have kind, faithful, and loving friends and relatives but, that the greatest of all blessings, as it is the most ennobling of all privileges, is to be indeed a Christian.
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
Her skin was white as leprosy.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
What is an epigram? A dwarfish whole, its body brevity, and wit its soul.
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
To admire on principle is the only way to imitate without loss of originality.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Language is the armory of the human mind, and at once contains the trophies of its past and the weapons of its future conquests.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And though thou notest from thy safe recess old friends burn dim, like lamps in noisome air love them for what they are nor love them less, because to thee they are not what they were.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Seldom can philosophic genius be more usefully employed than in thus rescuing admitted truths from the neglect caused by the very circumstance of their universal admission.
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
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
The present system of taking oaths is horrible. It is awfully absurd to make a man invoke God's wrath upon himself, if he speaks false it is, in my judgment, a sin to do so.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Exclusively of the abstract sciences, the largest and worthiest portion of our knowledge consists of aphorisms: and the greatest and best of men is but an aphorism.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The blue and bright-eyed floweret of the brook, Hope's gentle gem, the sweet Forget-me-not.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
