It is the duty of the Judge in criminal trials to take care that the verdict of the jury is not founded upon any evidence except that which the law allows.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

As long as we have to administ...

As long as we have to administer the law we must do so according to the law as it is. We are not here to make the law.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

What is one man's gain is another's loss.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

We are now Courts of equity, and must decide the thing according to all the rights.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

A Court has no right to strain the law because it causes hardship.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

It would not be correct to say...

It would not be correct to say that every moral obligation involves a legal duty; but every legal duty is founded on a moral obligation.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

We must follow the old authorities and precedents in criminal matters.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

I am sure from my experience o...

I am sure from my experience of juries that, in a criminal case especially, they will obey the law as declared by the Judge; they will take the law from the Judge, whether they like it or do not like it, and apply it honestly to the facts before them.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Law grows, and though the prin...

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 Coleridge 621 quotes

I must lay down the law as I u...

I must lay down the law as I understand it, and as I read it in books of authority.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

We must not be guilty of takin...

We must not be guilty of taking the law into our own hands, and converting it from what it really is to what we think it ought to be.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Persecution is a very easy form of virtue.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

It is a flat'ning Thought, that the more we have seen, the less we have to say.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

An idea, in the highest sense ...

An idea, in the highest sense of that word, cannot be conveyed but by a symbol.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

In wonder all philosophy began...

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 Coleridge 621 quotes

How strange and awful is the synthesis of life and death in the gusty winds and falling leaves of an autumnal day!

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Poetry is certainly something ...

Poetry is certainly something more than good sense, but it must be good sense, at all events, just as a palace is more than a house, but it must be a house, at least.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

The words in prose ought to ex...

The words in prose ought to express the intended meaning, and no more; if they attract attention to themselves, it is, in general, a fault.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

It cannot but be injurious to ...

It cannot but be injurious to the human mind never to be called into effort: the habit of receiving pleasure without any exertion of thought, by the mere excitement of curiosity, and sensibility, may be justly ranked among the worst effects of habitual novel-reading.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

To believe and to understand a...

To believe and to understand are not diverse things, but the same things in different periods of growth.
