More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
He holds him with his glittering eye, And listens like a three years' child.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
It [is] very unfair to influence a child's mind by inculcating any opinions before it [has] come to years of discretion to choose for itself.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
He is the best physician who is the most ingenious inspirer of hope.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A nation to be great ought to be compressed in its increment by nations more civilized than itself.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The whole faculties of man must be exerted in order to call forth noble energies and he who is not earnestly sincere lives in but half his being, self-mutilated, self-paralyzed.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Poor little Foal of an oppressed race! I love the languid patience of thy face.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
We have to administer the law whether we like it or no.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
...in consequence of the film of familiarity and selfish solicitude, we have eyes yet see not, ears that hear not, and hearts that neither feel nor understand.
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
When thieves come, I bark when gallants, I am still - So perform both my master's and mistress's will.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
We have no adequate conception of the perfection of the ancient tragic dance. The pleasure which the greeks received from it had for its basis difference & the more unfit the vehicle, the more lively was the curiosity & intense the delights at seeing the difficulty overcome.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
That gracious thing, made up of tears and light.
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
