More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Image
Every crime has, in the moment of its perpetration, Its own avenging angel-dark misgiving, An ominous sinking at the inmost heart.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
I dislike the frequent use of the word virtue, instead of righteousness, in the pulpit in prayer or preaching before a Christian community, it sounds too much like pagan philosophy.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
That only can with propriety be styled refinement which, by strengthening the intellect, purifies the manners.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Ah! from the soul itself must issue forth A light, a glory, a fair luminous cloud Enveloping the Earth And from the soul itself must there be sent A sweet and potent voice, of its own birth Of all sweet sounds the life and element!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
A man's as old as he's feeling. A woman as old as she looks.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Law grows, and though the principles of law remain unchanged, yet (and it is one of the advantages of the common law) their application is to be changed with the changing circumstances of the times. Some persons may call this retrogression, I call it progression of human opinion.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Our own heart, and not other men's opinion, forms our true honor.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Experience informs us that the first defence of weak minds is to recriminate.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
He is the best physician who is the most ingenious inspirer of hope.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
When thieves come, I bark when gallants, I am still - So perform both my master's and mistress's will.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Every reform, however necessary, will by weak minds be carried to an excess, that itself will need reforming.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Men of genius are rarely much annoyed by the company of vulgar people.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
If men could learn from history, what lessons it might teach us. But passion and party blind our eyes, and the light which experience gives us is a lantern on the stern, which shines only on the waves behind us.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
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
Image
And in today already walks tomorrow.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Imagination is the living power and prime agent of all human perception.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Never yet did there exist a full faith in the Divine Word (by whom light as well as immortality was brought into the world) which did not expand the intellect, while it purified the heart--which did not multiply the aims and objects of the understanding, while it fixed and simplified those of the desires and passions.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
I have heard of reasons manifold Why Love must needs be blind, But this the best of all I hold,- His eyes are in his mind.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
The doing evil to avoid an evil cannot be good.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
The devil is not, indeed, perfectly humorous, but that is only because he is the extreme of all humor.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
