Anything we take in the Universe, because it has in itself that which is All in All, includes in its own way, the entire soul of the world, which is entirely in any part of it.

Giordano Bruno

What you receive from others is a testimony to their virtue; but all that you do for others is the sign and clear indication of your own.
GIORDANO BRUNO

All Clear Indication Other Own Receive Sign Testimony Virtue
Of the eternal corporeal substance (which is not producible ex nihilo, nor reducible ad nihilum, but rarefiable, condensable, formable, arrangeable, and “fashionable”) the composition is dissolved, the complexion is changed, the figure is modified.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Arrangeable Consider Corporeal Eternal Ex Formable Nihil Producible Rarefiable Substance
There is no absolute up or down, as Aristotle taught; no absolute position in space; but the position of a body is relative to that of other bodies.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Absolute Aristotle Body Down No Other Position Relatives Space Taught
The beginning, middle, and end of the birth, growth, and perfection of whatever we behold is from contraries, by contraries, and to contraries; and whatever contrariety is, there is action and reaction, there is motion, diversity, multitude, and order, there are degrees, succession and vicissitude.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Begin Contraries End Birth Growth Middle Perfection Whatever
Those wise men knew God to be in things, and Divinity to be latent in Nature, working and glowing differently in different subjects and succeeding through diverse physical forms, in certain arrangements, in making them participants in her, I say, in her being, in her life and intellect.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Differently Divinity Glow Go Knew Latent Men Nature Subject Success Thing Work
The wise soul feareth not death; rather she sometimes striveth for death, she goeth beyond to meet her. Yet eternity maintaineth her substance throughout time, immensity throughout space, universal form throughout motion.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Beyond Death Fearneath Goeth Her Meet Sometimes Soul Striveth Worse
Perchance you who pronounce my sentence are in greater fear than I who receive it.
GIORDANO BRUNO

I cleave the heavens and soar to the infinite. And while I rise from my own globe to others and penetrate ever further through the eternal field. That which others saw from afar, I leave far behind me.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Clever Eternal Ever Field Globe Heaven Infinite Other Own Penetrate Soar Wile
It may be you fear more to deliver judgment upon me than I fear judgment.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Deliver Fear Judgement May More Upon
I regard them as earth’s heroes. But I do not wish to believe them without cause, nor to accept those propositions whose antitheses (as you must have understood if you are not both blind and deaf) are so compellingly true.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Accept Cause Compelling Regard True Understood Wish
If the first button of one’s coat is wrongly buttoned, all the rest will be crooked.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Button Buttoned Coat Crooked First Rest Wrongly
Maybe you who condemn me are in greater fear than I who am condemned.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Condemn Condemned Fear Greater Maybe
I pray you, magnificent Sir, do not trouble yourself to return to us, but await our coming to you.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Await Come Magnificent Pray Return Sir Trouble
Thus is the excellence of God magnified and the greatness of His kingdom made manifest;
GIORDANO BRUNO

Excellence God Greatness Kingdom Made Magnified Manifest
The being is altered, the fortune is varied, only the elements remaining what they are in substance, that same principle persevering which was always the one material principle, which is the true substance of things, eternal, ingenerable and incorruptible.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Alter Always Element Eternal Preserve Producible Substance True
The universe is then one, infinite, immobile. … It is not capable of comprehension and therefore is endless and limitless, and to that extent infinite and indeterminable, and consequently immobile.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Immobile Infinite One Universe
