The water-lily, in the midst o...

The water-lily, in the midst of waters, opens its leaves and expands its petals, at the first pattering of the shower, and rejoices in the rain-drops with a quicker sympathy than the packed shrubs in the sandy desert.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Friends should be weighed, not...

Friends should be weighed, not told; who boasts to have won a multitude of friends has never had one.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

God is everywhere! the God who...

God is everywhere! the God who framed
Mankind to be one, mighty family,
Himself our Father, and the world our home.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

How did the atheist get his idea of that God whom he denies?

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

God! sing, ye meadow-streams, ...

God! sing, ye meadow-streams, with gladsome voice!
Ye pine-groves, with your soft and soul-like sounds!
And they too have a voice, you piles of snow,
And in their perilous fall shall thunder, God!

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Centres, or centre-pieces of w...

Centres, or centre-pieces of wood, are put by builders under an arch of stone while it is in the process of construction till the keystone is put in. Just such is the use Satan makes of pleasures to construct evil habits upon; the pleasure lasts till the habit is fully formed; but that done the habit may stand eternal. The pleasures are sent for firewood, and the hell begins in this life.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Stimulate the heart to love and the mind to be early accurate, and all other virtues will rise of their own accord, and all vices will be thrown out.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

The misery of human life is ma...

The misery of human life is made up of large masses, each separated from the other by certain intervals. One year the death of a child; years after, a failure in trade; after another longer or shorter interval, a daughter may have married unhappily; in all but the singularly unfortunate, the integral parts that compose the sum-total of the unhappiness of a man's life are easily counted and distinctly remembered.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

God grant me grace my prayers ...

God grant me grace my prayers to say:
O God! preserve my mother dear,
In strength and health for many a year;
And O! preserve my father too,
And may I pay him reverence due;
And may I my best thoughts employ
To be my parents' hope and joy;
And O! preserve my brothers both
From evil doings, and from sloth,
And may we always love each other,
Our friends, our father, and our mother,
And still, O Lord, to me impart
An innocent and grateful heart,
That after m

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 Coleridge 621 quotes

To leave no interval between the sentence and the fulfillment of it doth beseem God only, the Immutable!

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

I feel as if God had, by giving the Sabbath, given fifty-two springs in every year.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Oh, the difficulty of fixing the attention of men on the world within them!

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Milton has carefully marked in his Satan the intense selfishness, the alcohol of egotism, which would rather reign in hell than serve in heaven.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

In Shakespeare one sentence be...

In Shakespeare one sentence begets the next naturally; the meaning is all inwoven. He goes on kindling like a meteor through the dark atmosphere.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

The whole faculties of man mus...

The whole faculties of man must be exerted in order to call forth noble energies; and he who is not earnestly sincere lives in but half his being, self-mutilated, self-paralyzed.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

The juggle of sophistry consis...

The juggle of sophistry consists, for the most part, in using a word in one sense in all the premises, and in another sense in the conclusion.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Either we have an immortal sou...

Either we have an immortal soul, or we have not. If we have not, we are beasts,--the first and the wisest of beasts, it may be, but still true beasts. We shall only differ in degree and not in kind,--just as the elephant differs from the slug. But by the concession of the materialists of all the schools, or almost all, we are not of the same kind as beasts, and this also we say from our own consciousness. Therefore, methinks, it must be the possession of the soul within us that makes the difference.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

It is a gentle and affectionat...

It is a gentle and affectionate thought, that in immeasurable height above us, at our first birth, the wreath of love was woven with sparkling stars for flowers.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

A nation to be great ought to be compressed in its increment by nations more civilized than itself.
