Since I have spread my wings to purpose high, The more beneath my feet the clouds I see, The more I give the winds my pinions free, Spurning the earth and soaring to the sky.

Giordano Bruno

The gems of philosophy are not less precious because they are not understood.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Gem Less Philosophy Precious Understand
I beg you, reject antiquity, tradition, faith, and authority! Let us begin anew by doubting everything we assume has been proven!
GIORDANO BRUNO

Antiquity Authority Beg Faith Reject
I await your sentence with less fear than you pass it. The time will come when all will see what I see.

God is the universal substance in existing things. He comprises all things. He is the fountain of all being. In Him exists everything that is.

Nature is none other than God in things. Animals and plants are living effects of Nature; whence all of God is in all things. Think thus, of the sun in the crocus, in the narcissus, in the heliotrope, in the rooster, in the lion.
GIORDANO BRUNO

All Animal Effect God Living Nature Other Plant Than Thing
I do not know when, but I know that many have come in this century to develop arts and sciences, sow the seeds of a new culture that will flourish, unexpected, sudden, just when the power is deluded into believing they have won.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Art Century Come Develop Know Many Science When
It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Base Low Majority Masses Merely Mind One Proof Think Wish
It is unity that doth enchant me. By her power I am free though thrall, happy in sorrow, rich in poverty, and quick even in death.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Death Dith Enchant Ever Happy Poverty Power Quick Rih Sorrow Unity
The one infinite is perfect , in simplicity , of itself, absolutely, nor can aught be greater or better, This is the one Whole, God , universal Nature , occupying all space, of whom naught but infinity can give the perfect image or semblance.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Absolute Aught Better Greater Ine Infinite Itself Perfect Simplicity
There is a single general space, a single vast immensity which we may freely call void: in it are unnumerable globes like this on which we live and grow, this space we declare to be infinite, since neither reason, convenience, sense-perception nor nature assign to it a limit.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Call General Globe Immensity Live Single Space Vast Voidunumerable
I have declared infinite worlds to exist beside this our earth. It would not be worthy of God to manifest Himself in less than an infinite universe.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Declare Earth Exist Infinite World
They dispute not in order to find or even to seek Truth, but for victory, and to appear the more learned and strenuous upholders of a contrary opinion. Such persons should be avoided by all who have not a good breastplate of patience.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Appear Contrary Dispute Even Learn More Opinion Order Seek Truth Victory
One only is immutable, eternal and ever endures, one and the same with itself. With this philosophy my spirit grows, my mind expands.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Encduce Eternal Expand Immutable Itself One Only Philosophy Same
Perchance you who pronounce my sentence are in greater fear than I who receive it.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Beautiful sights arouse feelings of love, and contrary sights bring feelings of disgrace and hate. And the emotions of the soul and spirit bring something additional to the body itself, which exists under the control of the soul and the direction of the spirit.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Arouse Beautiful Contrary Disgrace Feeling Hate Love Sight
I fought, and therefore, believed in my victory. There is more to the fact that I didn’t fear death and preferred a brave death instead of a life of an idiot.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Believe Fought Therefore Victory
