Why, I say, do so few understand and apprehend the internal power?… He who in himself sees all things, is all things.

Giordano Bruno

I beg you, reject antiquity, tradition, faith, and authority! Let us begin anew by doubting everything we assume has been proven!
GIORDANO BRUNO

Antiquity Authority Beg Faith Reject
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
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
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.

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 in the universe neither center nor circumference.

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

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

Faith Magician Mean More Physician Truth
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
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

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

Believe Change Majority People Truth
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
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
