Child got the skills of talking from the age1 year to3 years from people around, once you left him he will never learn the language, hence; he will never read and write, his mind will stop evolving.

Knowledge is the real power for surviving in our life.

The phrase "scientia potentia est" (or "scientia est potentia" or also "scientia potestas est") is a Latin aphorism often claimed to mean organized "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 the1668 version of the work Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes, who was secretary to Bacon as a young man.

The related phrase "sapientia est potentia" is often translated as "wisdom is power".

Dear Darko,

 

I second you,

Having knowledge will be worthless unless you make use of the same.

 

If your knowledge is productive and others need the same, yes you are powerful!!! As I can steal anything from you but can never touch your knowledge.  

 

Hope it was of help,

Regards,

Dev

The more one knows, the more one will be able to control events. The power of Knowledge is the power to see beyond deception, the power to block inquiry, the powerto know things that others cannot see, the power to maintain your integrity, the power to discern danger and the power to recognize a true friend and ally. This expression is true in it's content and what it means.
