    Wiki says: the phrase "scientia potentia est" (or "scientia est   
   potentia" or also "scientia potestas est") is a Latin aphorism meaning   
   "knowledge is power". It is commonly attributed to Sir Francis Bacon, although   
   there is no known occurrence of this precise phrase in Bacon's English or   
   Latin writings. However, the expression "ipsa scientia potestas est"   
   ('knowledge itself is power') occurs in Bacon's Meditationes Sacrae (1597).   
   The exact phrase "scientia potentia est" was written for the first time in the   
   1668 version of the work Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes, who was a secretary to   
   Bacon as a young man.   
      
   Why not: "wisdom is power"?
