You explain right well, and you shew that you understand argument and are not a mere sophist since you accept that which cannot be denied.

Giordano Bruno

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
Divinity reveals herself in all things.
GIORDANO BRUNO

All Divinity Himself Reveal Thing
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
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
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.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Exist God People Substance Universal
I have held and hold souls to be immortal…. Speaking as a Catholic, they do not pass from body to body, but go to paradise, purgatory or hell.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Held Hold Immortal Soul
There is no law governing all things.
GIORDANO BRUNO

All Governing Law No Thing
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
I don’t care if 1 is prime or not, if 2 is prime or not, if 3 is prime or not. All I care is that there are more stars in the heavens than primes in the earth.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Care Dare Earth Heaven More Not Prime Star
The single spirit doth simultaneously temper the whole together; this is the single soul of all things; all are filled with God .
GIORDANO BRUNO

All Doth Fill God Simultaneously Single Soul Spirit Temple Thing Together Whole
We delight in one knowable thing, which comprehends all that is knowable; in one apprehensible, which draws together all that can be apprehended; in a single being that includes all, above all in the one which is itself the all.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Apprehensible Comprehend Delight Draw Knowable Thing Together
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
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
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
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
