More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
No man was ever yet a great poet, without being at the same time a profound philosopher. For poetry is the blossom and the fragrance of all human knowledge, human thoughts, human passions, emotions, language.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I may not hope from outward forms to win / The passion and the life, whose fountains are within.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
An orphan's curse would drag to hell, a spirit from on high but oh! more horrible than that, is a curse in a dead man's eye!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
To know, to esteem, to love,-and then to part, Makes up life's tale to many a feeling heart.
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
The act of praying is the very highest energy of which the human mind is capable praying, that is, with the total concentration of the faculties. The great mass of worldly men and of learned men are absolutely incapable of prayer.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
There is small chance of truth at the goal, where there is not childlike humility at the starting-post.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Some persons have contended that mathematics ought to be taught by making the illustrations obvious to the senses. Nothing can be more absurd or injurious: it ought to be our never-ceasing effort to make people think, not feel.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The fancy is indeed no other than a mode of memory emancipated from the order of time and space.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Joy rises in me, like a summer's morn.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Mr. Lyell's system of geology is just half the truth, and no more. He affirms a great deal that is true, and he denies a great deal which is equally true which is the general characteristic of all systems not embracing the whole truth.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
There is nothing insignificant-nothing.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
In the deepest night of trouble and sorrow God gives us so much to be thankful for that we need never cease our singing. With all our wisdom and foresight we can take a lesson in gladness and gratitude from the happy bird that sings all night, as if the day were not long enough to tell its joy.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A Falsehood is, in one sense, a dead thing but too often it moves about, galvanized by self-will, and pushes the living out of their seats.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
This world has angels all too few, and heaven is overflowing.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The blue and bright-eyed floweret of the brook, Hope's gentle gem, the sweet Forget-me-not.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Greatness and goodness are not means, but ends.
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
He is the best physician who is the most ingenious inspirer of hope.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A single thought is that which it is from other thoughts as a wave of the sea takes its form and shape from the waves which precede and follow it.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
