More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Her lips were red, her looks were free, Her locks were yellow as gold: Her skin was white as leprosy, The Nightmare Life-in-Death was she, Who thicks man's blood with cold.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Men, I still think, ought to be weighed not counted.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
One thought includes all thought, in the sense that a grain of sand includes the universe.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Veracity does not consist in saying, but in the intention of communicating the truth.
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
An ear for music is very different from a taste for music. I have no ear whatever I could not sing an air to save my life but I have the intensest delight in music, and can detect good from bad.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The Reformation in the sixteenth century narrowed Reform. As soon as men began to call themselves names, all hope of further amendment was lost.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
He prayeth best who loveth best.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
He is the best physician who is the most ingenious inspirer of hope.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
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
Poor little Foal of an oppressed race! I love the languid patience of thy face.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
During the act of knowledge itself, the objective and subjective are so instantly united, that we cannot determine to which of the two the priority belongs.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And they three passed over the white sands, between the rocks, silent as the shadows.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
If you would stand well with a great mind, leave him with a favorable impression of yourself if with a little mind, leave him with a favorable impression of himself.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
All nature seems at work.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
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
We ne'er can be Made happy by compulsion.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Great old books of the great old authors are not in everybody's reach and though it is better to know them thoroughly than to know them only here and there, yet it is a good work to give a little to those who have neither time nor means to get his own belief.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And here were forests ancient as the hills, Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Thou rising Sun! thou blue rejoicing Sky! Yea! every thing that is and will be free! Bear witness for me, whereso'er ye be, With what deep worship I have still adored The spirit of divinest Liberty.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
