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

There is in the universe neither center nor circumference.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Center Circumference Neither Universe
Of the eternal incorporeal substance nothing is changed, is formed or deformed, but there always remains only that thing which cannot be a subject of dissolution, since it is not possible that it be a subject of composition, and therefore, either of itself or by accident, it cannot be said to die.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Change Deform Eternal Form Incorporeal Nothing Substance
Without her presence nothing would have being, because she is the essence of the existence of the first unto the last being.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Being Essence Existence First Last Nothing Presence
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
There is no law governing all things.
GIORDANO 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 BRUNO

Absolute Aught Better Greater Ine Infinite Itself Perfect Simplicity
With luck on your side, you can do without brains.

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
Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.
GIORDANO BRUNO

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
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
For nothing is in fact diminished in its substance, but all things, wandering through infinite space, undergo change of aspect.
GIORDANO BRUNO

All Aspect Change Diminishing Fact Nothing Space Substance Thing Wandering
There is a single general space, a single vast immensity which we may freely call void: in it are unnumerable globes like this on which we live and grow, this space we declare to be infinite, since neither reason, convenience, sense-perception nor nature assign to it a limit.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Call General Globe Immensity Live Single Space Vast Voidunumerable
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

Nature is none other than God in all things. Animals and plants are living effects of Nature; Whence all of God is in all things.
GIORDANO BRUNO

It is unity that doth enchant me. By her power I am free though thrall, happy in sorrow, rich in poverty, and quick even in death.
GIORDANO BRUNO
