More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Joy is the sweet voice, joy the luminous cloud. We in ourselves rejoice! And thence flows all that charms or ear or sight, all melodies the echoes of that voice, all colours a suffusion from that light.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
All men, even the most surly are influenced by affection.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Guilt is a timorous thing ere perpetration despair alone makes guilty men be bold.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
What is one man's gain is another's loss.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
God! sing, ye meadow-streams, with gladsome voice! Ye pine-groves, with your soft and soul-like sounds! And they too have a voice, you piles of snow, And in their perilous fall shall thunder, God!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I do not call the sod under my feet my country but language-religion-government-blood-identity in these makes men of one country.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Genius must have talent as its complement and implement, just as in like manner imagination must have fancy. In short, the higher intellectual powers can only act through a corresponding energy of the lower.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
On the Greek stage a drama, or acted story, consisted in reality of three dramas, called together a trilogy, and performed consecutively in the course of one day.
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
Frenchmen are like gunpowder, each by itself smutty and contemptible, but mass them together and they are terrible indeed!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
There is small chance of truth at the goal, where there is not childlike humility at the starting-post.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Day after day, day after day, We stuck, nor breath nor motion As idle as a painted ship Upon a painted ocean.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I must reject fluids and ethers of all kinds, magnetical, electrical, and universal, to whatever quintessential thinness they may be treble distilled, and as it were super-substantiated.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The true key to the declension of the Roman empire which is not to be found in all Gibbon 's immense work may be stated in two words: the imperial character overlaying, and finally destroying, the national character. Rome under Trajan was an empire without a nation.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
How inimitably graceful children are in general-before they learn to dance.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Not one man in a thousand has either strength of mind or goodness of heart to be an atheist.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The curiosity of an honorable mind willingly rests there, where the love of truth does not urge it farther onward, and the love of its neighbor bids it stop in other words, it willingly stops at the point where the interests of truth do not beckon it onward, and charity cries, Halt!
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
Oh, the difficulty of fixing the attention of men on the world within them!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
For she belike hath drunken deep Of all the blessedness of sleep.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
