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

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
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
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
I understand Being in all and over all, as there is nothing without participation in Being, and there is no being without Essence. Thus nothing can be free of the Divine Presence.
GIORDANO BRUNO

All Being Essence Nothing Over Particular Understand
I need not instruct you of my belief: Time gives all and takes all away ; everything changes but nothing perishes ;
GIORDANO BRUNO

All Away Belive Change Everything Give Instruct Need Perhaps Take Time
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
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
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
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
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
The stars in the sky are really other suns like our own, around which orbit other planets. (paraphrase)
GIORDANO BRUNO

Like Other Own Paraphrase Planet Really Sky Star Sun
There is one basic cause of all effects.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Basic Cause Effect One
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 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
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
When we consider the being and substance of that universe in which we are immutably set, we shall discover that neither we ourselves nor any substance doth suffer death.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Being Consider Discover Immutably Neither Ourselves Substance Universe
