Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Water, water, everywhere, And all the boards did shrink Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Reviewers are usually people who would have been, poets, historians, biographer, if they could. They have tried their talents at one thing or another and have failed therefore they turn critic.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Let every book-worm, when in any fragrant, scarce old tome, he discovers a sentence, a story, an illustration, that does his heart good, hasten to give it the widest circulation that newspapers and magazines, penny and halfpenny, can afford.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Show me one couple unhappy merely on account of their limited circumstances, and I will show you ten who are wretched from other causes.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Poor little Foal of an oppressed race! I love the languid patience of thy face.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The book of Job is pure Arab poetry of the highest and most antique cast.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A Falsehood is, in one sense, a dead thing but too often it moves about, galvanized by self-will, and pushes the living out of their seats.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Often do the spirits stride on before the event and in today already walks tomorrow.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Religion is the most gentlemanly thing in the world. It alone will gentilize, if unmixed with cant.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Remorse is as the heart in which it grows If that be gentle, it drops balmy dews Of true repentance but if proud and gloomy, It is the poison tree, that pierced to the inmost, Weeps only tears of poison.
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
Every reform, however necessary, will by weak minds be carried to an excess, that itself will need reforming.
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
This world has angels all too few, and heaven is overflowing.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
There is no such thing as a worthless book though there are some far worse than worthless no book that is not worth preserving, if its existence may be tolerated as there may be some men whom it may be proper to hang, but none should be suffered to starve.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
He holds him with his glittering eye, And listens like a three years' child.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Ah! well a-day! what evil looks / Had I from old and young! / Instead of the cross, the Albatross / About my neck was hung.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The once red leaf, the last of its clan, that dances as often as dance it can.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I may not hope from outward forms to win / The passion and the life, whose fountains are within.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
