More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Facts are not truths they are not conclusions they are not even premises, but in the nature and parts of premises.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Trochee trips from long to short From long to long in solemn sort Slow Spondee stalks.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Come, come thou bleak December wind, And blow the dry leaves from the tree! Flash, like a Love-thought, thro'me, Death And take a Life that wearies me.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The Eighth Commandment was not made for bards.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The first duty of a wise advocate is to convince his opponents that he understands their arguments, and sympathies with their just feelings.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Novels are to love as fairy tales to dreams.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
No mind is thoroughly well organized that is deficient in a sense of humor.
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
Moral obligation is to me so very strong a Stimulant, that in 9 cases out of ten it acts as a Narcotic. The Blow that should rouse, stuns me.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The blue and bright-eyed floweret of the brook, Hope's gentle gem, the sweet Forget-me-not.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Greatness and goodness are not means, but ends! Hath he not always treasures, always friends, The good great man? Three treasures, love and light, And calm thoughts, regular as infants' breath And three firm friends, more sure than day and night, Himself, his Maker, and the angel Death.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
To all new truths, or renovation of old truths, it must be as in the ark between the destroyed and the about-to-be renovated world. The raven must be sent out before the dove, and ominous controversy must precede peace and the olive wreath.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Guilt is a timorous thing ere perpetration despair alone makes guilty men be bold.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Like one, that on a lonesome road Doth walk in fear and dread, And having once turned round walks on, And turns no more his head Because he knows, a frightful fiend Doth close behind him tread.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
He is the best physician who is the most ingenious inspirer of hope.
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
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
The poet is the man made to solve the riddle of the universe who brings the whole soul of man into activity.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A single thought is that which it is from other thoughts as a wave of the sea takes its form and shape from the waves which precede and follow it.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The necessity for external government to man is in an inverse ratio to the vigor of his self-government. Where the last is most complete, the first is least wanted. Hence, the more virtue the more liberty.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
