What can be more stupid than to be in pain about future things and absent ones which at present are not felt?

Giordano Bruno

The gems of philosophy are not less precious because they are not understood.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Gem Less Philosophy Precious Understand
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
Why, I say, do so few understand and apprehend the internal power?… He who in himself sees all things, is all things.
GIORDANO BRUNO

All Apprehenf Few Internal Power Say Thing Understand
The wise soul feareth not death; rather she sometimes striveth for death, she goeth beyond to meet her. Yet eternity maintaineth her substance throughout time, immensity throughout space, universal form throughout motion.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Beyond Death Fearneath Goeth Her Meet Sometimes Soul Striveth Worse
Anything we take in the Universe, because it has in itself that which is All in All, includes in its own way, the entire soul of the world, which is entirely in any part of it.
GIORDANO BRUNO

All Anything Include Inelf Own Soil Take Universe Way World
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

Absolute Aristotle Body Down No Other Position Relatives Space Taught
There is no law governing all things.
GIORDANO BRUNO

All Governing Law No Thing
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
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
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
God is infinite, so His universe must be too.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Be God Infinite Must Too Universe
From this coincidence of contraries, we deduce that ultimately it is divinely true that contraries are within contraries; wherefore it is not difficult to compass the knowledge that each thing is within every other.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Coincidence Compas Contraries Difficult Every Other True Ultimate
Divinity reveals herself in all things.
GIORDANO BRUNO

All Divinity Himself Reveal Thing
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
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
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 BRUNO

Have Joint Live Nothing Point Together
