Men of genius are rarely much ...

Men of genius are rarely much annoyed by the company of vulgar people, because they have a power of looking at such persons as objects of amusement of another race altogether.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Men of humor are always in som...

Men of humor are always in some degree men of genius; wits are rarely so, although a man of genius may, amongst other gifts, possess wit, as Shakespeare.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Religion is the most gentleman...

Religion is the most gentlemanly thing in the world. It alone will gentilize, if unmixed with cant.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

There is no slight danger from general ignorance; and the only choice which Providence has graciously left to a vicious government is either to fall by the people, if they are suffered to become enlightened, or with them, if they are kept enslaved and ignorant.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Intellect really exists in its products; its kingdom is here.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

A maxim is a conclusion upon o...

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 Coleridge 621 quotes

Memory, bosom-spring of joy....

Memory, bosom-spring of joy.

Metaphysics,--the science which determines what can and what cannot be known of being and the laws of being.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Method means primarily a way or path of transit. From this we are to understand that the first idea of method is a progressive transition from one step to another in any course. If in the right course, it will be the true method; if in the wrong, we cannot hope to progress.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Motives are symptoms of weakne...

Motives are symptoms of weakness, and supplements for the deficient energy of the living principle, the law within us. Let them then be reserved for those momentous acts and duties in which the strongest and best-balanced natures must feel themselves deficient, and where humility no less than prudence prescribes deliberation.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

I never knew a trader in phila...

I never knew a trader in philanthropy who was not wrong in his head or heart somewhere or other.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Rage is essentially vulgar....

Rage is essentially vulgar.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

The first class of readers may...

The first class of readers may be compared to an hour-glass, their reading being as the sand; it runs in and runs out, and leaves not a vestige behind. A second class resembles a sponge, which imbibes everything, and returns it in nearly the same state, only a little dirtier. A third class is like a jelly-bag, which allows all that is pure to pass away, and retains only the refuse and dregs. The fourth class may be compared to the slave of Golconda, who, casting aside all that is worthless, preserves only the pure gems

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

That only can with propriety be styled refinement which, by strengthening the intellect, purifies the manners.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Too soon did the doctors of the church forget that the heart--the moral nature--was the beginning and the end, and that truth, knowledge, and insight were comprehended in its expansion.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

The sense of beauty is intuiti...

The sense of beauty is intuitive, and beauty itself is all that inspires pleasure without, and aloof from, and even contrarily to interest.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

As there is much beast and som...

As there is much beast and some devil in man, so is there some angel and some God in him. The beast and the devil may be conquered, but in this life never destroyed.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

How wonderfully beautiful is t...

How wonderfully beautiful is the delineation of the characters of the three patriarchs in Genesis! To be sure if ever man could, without impropriety, be called, or supposed to be, 'the friend of God,' Abraham was that man. We are not surprised that Abimelech and Ephron seem to reverence him so profoundly. He was peaceful, because of his conscious relation to God.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Courage multiplies the chances...

Courage multiplies the chances of success by sometimes making opportunities, and always availing itself of them; and in this sense Fortune may be said to favor fools by those who, however prudent in their opinion, are deficient in valor and enterprise.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Death but supplies the oil for...

Death but supplies the oil for the inextinguishable lamp of life.
