More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Never pursue literature as a trade.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And in today already walks tomorrow.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I never knew a trader in philanthropy who was not wrong in his head or heart somewhere or other.
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

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The first duty of a wise advocate is to convince his opponents that he understands their arguments, and sympathies with their just feelings.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Water, water, everywhere, And all the boards did shrink Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The wise only possess ideas the greater part of mankind are possessed by them.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
That agony returns And till my ghastly tale is told, This heart within me burns.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
