I need not instruct you of my belief: Time gives all and takes all away ; everything changes but nothing perishes ;

Giordano Bruno

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 pray you, magnificent Sir, do not trouble yourself to return to us, but await our coming to you.

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

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
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

Magicians can do more by means of faith than physicians by the truth.

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

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

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
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
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
