More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Men of genius are rarely much annoyed by the company of vulgar people.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Seldom can philosophic genius be more usefully employed than in thus rescuing admitted truths from the neglect caused by the very circumstance of their universal admission.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The fair breeze blew, The white foam flew, And the forrow followed free. We were the first to ever burst into the silent sea.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Christianity is not a theory or speculation, but a life not a philosophy of life, but a life and a living process.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
How like herrings and onions our vices are in the morning after we have committed them.
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
The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A man's desire is for the woman, but the woman's desire is rarely other than for the desire of the man.
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
All men, even the most surly are influenced by affection.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Exclusively of the abstract sciences, the largest and worthiest portion of our knowledge consists of aphorisms: and the greatest and best of men is but an aphorism.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And they three passed over the white sands, between the rocks, silent as the shadows.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Imagination is the living power and prime agent of all human perception.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
He prayeth best, who loveth best All things both great and small For the dear God who loveth us, He made and loveth all.
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
We should manage our thoughts as shepherds do their flowers in making a garland: first, select the choicest, and then dispose them in the most proper places, that every one may reflect a part of its color and brightness on the next.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A sight to dream of, not to tell!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
You may depend upon it, religion is, in its essence, the most gentlemanly thing in the world. It will alone gentilize, if unmixed with cant and I know nothing else that will, alone. Certainly not the army, which is thought to be the grand embellisher of manners.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
No mind is thoroughly well organized that is deficient in a sense of humor.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The nightmare Life-in-Death was she.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
