The stars in the sky are really other suns like our own, around which orbit other planets. (paraphrase)

Giordano Bruno

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
All things are in the Universe, and the universe is in all things: we in it, and it in us; in this way everything concurs in a perfect unity.
GIORDANO BRUNO

All Everything Occur Perfect Thing Unity Universe
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

Accept Argument Denied End Explain Right Sophistic Understand Well
Our bodily eye findeth never an end, but is vanquished by the immensity of space.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Body But End Eye Immensity Space Vanquished
There is one basic cause of all effects.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Basic Cause Effect One
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
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
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
God is infinite, so His universe must be too.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Be God Infinite Must Too Universe
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
Time is the father of truth, its mother is our mind.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Father Mind Mother Time Truth
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
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
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
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
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
