A woman's friendship borders m...

A woman's friendship borders more closely on love than man's. Men affect each other in the reflection of noble or friendly acts; whilst women ask fewer proofs and more signs and expressions of attachment.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

As a man without forethought s...

As a man without forethought scarcely deserves the name of a man, so forethought without reflection is but a metaphorical phrase for the instinct of a beast.

A rogue is a roundabout fool....

A rogue is a roundabout fool.

Novels are to love as fairy tales to dreams.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

The first great requisite is absolute sincerity. Falsehood and disguise are miseries and misery-makers.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Falsehood is fire in stubble; ...

Falsehood is fire in stubble; it likewise turns all the light stuff around it into its own substance for a moment, one crackling blazing moment, and then dies; and all its converts are scattered in the wind, without place or evidence of their existence, as viewless as the wind which scatters them.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Never yet did there exist a fu...

Never yet did there exist a full faith in the Divine Word (by whom light as well as immortality was brought into the world) which did not expand the intellect, while it purified the heart--which did not multiply the aims and objects of the understanding, while it fixed and simplified those of the desires and passions.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

In your intercourse with sects...

In your intercourse with sects, the sublime and abstruse doctrines of Christian belief belong to the Church; but the faith of the individual, centred in his heart, is, or may be, collateral to them. Faith is subjective.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Above all things I entreat you...

Above all things I entreat you to preserve your faith in Christ. It is my wealth in poverty, my joy in sorrow, my peace amid tumult. For all the evil I have committed, my gracious pardon; and for every effort, my exceeding great reward. I have found it to be so. I can smile with pity at the infidel whose vanity makes him dream that I should barter such a blessing for the few subtleties from the school of the cold-blooded sophists.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

There are errors which no wise...

There are errors which no wise man will treat with rudeness while there is a probability that they may be the refraction of some great truth still below the horizon.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Enlist the interests of stern ...

Enlist the interests of stern Morality and religious Enthusiasm in the cause of Political Liberty, as in the time of the old Puritans, and it will be irresistible.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

On the Greek stage a drama, or acted story, consisted in reality of three dramas, called together a trilogy, and performed consecutively in the course of one day.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

A bitter and perplexed 'What shall I do?'
Is worse to man than worse necessity.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

The devil is not, indeed, perfectly humorous, but that is only because he is the extreme of all humor.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Democracy is the healthful lif...

Democracy is the healthful lifeblood which circulates through the veins and arteries, which supports the system, but which ought never to appear externally, and as the mere blood itself.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

The curiosity of an honorable ...

The curiosity of an honorable mind willingly rests there, where the love of truth does not urge it farther onward, and the love of its neighbor bids it stop; in other words, it willingly stops at the point where the interests of truth do not beckon it onward, and charity cries, Halt!

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

In what way, or by what manner...

In what way, or by what manner of working, God changes a soul from evil to good, how He impregnates the barren rock--the priceless gems and gold--is to the human mind an impenetrable mystery, in all cases alike.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

In Koln, a town of monks and b...

In Koln, a town of monks and bones,
And pavement fang'd with murderous stones,
And rags and hags, and hideous wenches,
I counted two-and-seventy stenches,
All well defined, and several stinks!
Ye nymphs that reign o'er sewers and sinks,
The River Rhine, it is well known,
Doth wash your city of Cologne;
But tell me, nymphs! what power divine
Shall henceforth whash the river Rhine.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Christianity is within a man, ...

Christianity is within a man, even as he is gifted with reason; it is associated with your mother's chair, and with the first remembered, tones of her blessed voice.

Samuel Coleridge 621 quotes

Words in prose ought to expres...

Words in prose ought to express the intended meaning; if they attract attention to themselves, it is a fault; in the very best styles you read page after page without noticing the medium. Works of imagination should be written in very plain language; the more purely imaginative they are, the more necessary it is to be plain.
