Detailed explanation-1: -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).
Detailed explanation-2: -William Shakespeare Quote: Ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.
Detailed explanation-3: -Abstract. When Sir Francis Bacon published in his work, Meditationes Sacrae (1597), the saying: “knowledge itself is power", he most likely wanted to transmit the idea that having and sharing knowledge is the cornerstone of reputation and influence, and therefore power; all achievements emanate from this.
