Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The rules of prudence, like the laws of the stone tables, are for the most part prohibitive. Thou shalt not is their characteristic formula.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Water, water, everywhere, And all the boards did shrink Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
In wonder all philosophy began, in wonder it ends, and admiration fill up the interspace but the first wonder is the offspring of ignorance, the last is the parent of adoration.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Genius of the highest kind implies an unusual intensity of the modifying power.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The blue and bright-eyed floweret of the brook, Hope's gentle gem, the sweet Forget-me-not.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
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

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
