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

What! Did Sir W[alter] R[aleigh] believe that a male and female ounce (and, if so, why not two tigers and lions, etc?) would have produced, in a course of generations, a cat, or a cat a lion? This is Darwinizing with a vengeance.
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
A maxim is a conclusion upon observation of matters of fact, and is merely speculative a principle carries knowledge within itself, and is prospective.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Men of genius are rarely much annoyed by the company of vulgar people.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
This world has angels all too few, and heaven is overflowing.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
