More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Painting is the intermediate somewhat between a thought and a thing.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Let every book-worm, when in any fragrant, scarce old tome, he discovers a sentence, a story, an illustration, that does his heart good, hasten to give it the widest circulation that newspapers and magazines, penny and halfpenny, can afford.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Love is flower like Friendship is like a sheltering tree.
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
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
I have often thought what a melancholy world this would be without children, and what an inhuman world without the aged.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Language is the armory of the human mind, and at once contains the trophies of its past and the weapons of its future conquests.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I have seen great intolerance shown in support of tolerance.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
To see him act is like reading Shakespeare by flashes of lightning.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Alas! they had been friends in youth but whispering tongues can poison truth.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
If people could learn history, what lessons it might teach us!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Men of genius are rarely much annoyed by the company of vulgar people.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And they three passed over the white sands, between the rocks, silent as the shadows.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
How well he fell asleepl Like some proud river, widening toward the sea Calmly and grandly, silently and deep, Life joined eternity.
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
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
Ancestral voices prophesying war.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I do not wish you to act from these truths no, still and always act from your feelings only meditate often on these truths that sometime or other they may become your feelings.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
God is everywhere! the God who framed Mankind to be one, mighty family, Himself our Father, and the world our home.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
To leave no interval between the sentence and the fulfillment of it doth beseem God only, the Immutable!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
