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

Giordano Bruno

The soul is not the body and it may be in one body or in another, and pass from body to body.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Another Body May Pass Soul
If the first button of one’s coat is wrongly buttoned, all the rest will be crooked.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Button Buttoned Coat Crooked First Rest Wrongly
I who am in the night will move into the day.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Day Move Right
Our … reduceth to a single origin and relateth to a single , and maketh contraries to coincide so that there is one primal foundation both of origin and of end.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Both Concise Contrairies Foundation Masketh Origin Our Primal Reduceth Single
In this infinite space is placed our universe (whether by chance, by necessity, or by providence I do not now consider).
GIORDANO BRUNO

Consider Infinite Necessity Now Place Providence Space 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
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
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 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
Beautiful sights arouse feelings of love, and contrary sights bring feelings of disgrace and hate. And the emotions of the soul and spirit bring something additional to the body itself, which exists under the control of the soul and the direction of the spirit.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Arouse Beautiful Contrary Disgrace Feeling Hate Love Sight
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
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
Divine love does not weigh down, nor carry his servant captive and enslaved to the lowest depths, but raises him, supports him and magnifies him above all liberty whatsoever.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Captive Carry Depth Divine Down Enslave Love Lowest Magnifies Racism Support
Everything has Divinity latent within itself. For she enfolds and imparts herself even unto the smallest beings, and from the smallest beings, according to their capacity.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Being Capacity Dignity Enhold Everything Himself Smallest
Desire urges me on, while fear bridals me.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Bridal Desire Me Urge While
The hammers must be swung in cadence, when more than one is hammering the iron.
GIORDANO BRUNO

Cadence Hammer Iron More Must Swung
