Rights! There are no rights wh...

Rights! There are no rights whatever without corresponding duties. Look at the history of the growth of our constitution, and you will see that our ancestors never upon any occasion stated, as a ground for claiming any of their privileges, an abstract right inherent in themselves; you will nowhere in our parliamentary records find the miserable sophism of the Rights of Man.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Every reform, however necessary, will by weak minds be carried to an excess, which will itself need reforming.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

The happiness of life is made ...

The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions -- the little soon forgotten charities of a kiss or smile, a kind look, a heartfelt compliment, and the countless infinitesimal of pleasurable and genial feeling.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

A religion, that is, a true re...

A religion, that is, a true religion, must consist of ideas and facts both; not of ideas alone without facts, for then it would be mere Philosophy; -- nor of facts alone without ideas, of which those facts are symbols, or out of which they arise, or upon which they are grounded: for then it would be mere History.

Forth from his dark and lonely hiding-place, (Portentous sight!) the owlet Atheism, sailing on obscene wings athwart the noon, drops his blue-fringed lids, and holds them close, and hooting at the glorious sun in Heaven, cries out, Where is it?

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Alas! they had been friends in youth; but whispering tongues can poison truth.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

To see him act is like reading Shakespeare by flashes of lightning.

Aptitude found in the understanding and is often inherited. Genius coming from reason and imagination, rarely.

There are three classes into which all the women past seventy that ever I knew were to be divided: 1. That dear old soul; 2. That old woman; 3. That old witch.

My case is a species of madness, only that it is a derangement of the Volition, and not of the intellectual faculties.

How inimitably graceful children are in general before they learn to dance!

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Exclusively of the abstract sciences, the largest and worthiest portion of our knowledge consists of aphorisms: and the greatest and best of men is but an aphorism.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Some men are like musical glasses; to produce their finest tones you must keep them wet.

Poor little Foal of an oppressed race! I love the languid patience of thy face.
