More from Giordano Bruno
The gems of philosophy are not less precious because they are not understood.
Giordano BrunoGiordano Bruno 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 BrunoGiordano Bruno Without her presence nothing would have being, because she is the essence of the existence of the first unto the last being.
Giordano BrunoGiordano Bruno 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 BrunoGiordano Bruno That which we have lived is nothing; that which we live is a point; that which we have to live is not yet a point, but may be a point which, together, shall be and shall have been.
Giordano BrunoGiordano 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 BrunoGiordano Bruno 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 BrunoGiordano Bruno 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 BrunoGiordano Bruno 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 BrunoGiordano Bruno Magicians can do more by means of faith than physicians by the truth.
Giordano BrunoGiordano Bruno 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 BrunoGiordano Bruno 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 BrunoGiordano Bruno Divine love does not weigh down, nor carry his servant captive and enslaved to the lowest depths, but raises him, supports him and magnifies him above all liberty whatsoever.
Giordano BrunoGiordano Bruno I await your sentence with less fear than you pass it. The time will come when all will see what I see.
Giordano BrunoGiordano Bruno 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 BrunoGiordano Bruno 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.
