Samuel Taylor Coleridge

"No mind is thoroughly well organized that is deficient in a sense of humor."

"He is the best physician who is the most ingenious inspirer of hope."

"Sympathy constitutes friendship; but in love there is a sort of antipathy, or opposing passion. Each strives to be the other, and both together make up one whole."

"Silence does not always mark wisdom."

"People of humor are always in some degree people of genius."

"Friendship is a sheltering tree."

"No man was ever yet a great poet, without at the same time being a profound philosopher."

"Love is flower like; Friendship is like a sheltering tree."

"No man was ever yet a great poet, without at the same time being a profound philosopher."

"Sir, I admit your general rule, That every poet is a fool, But you yourself may serve to show it, That every fool is not a poet."

"If men could learn from history, what lessons it might teach us. But passion and party blind our eyes, and the light which experience gives us is a lantern on the stern, which shines only on the waves behind us."

"He who is best prepared can best serve his moment of inspiration."

"Poetry: the best words in the best order."
