Knowledge is power proverb is said by the Francis Bacon, a great essayist.

He had given his opinion that

knowledge is the source of power to man. The meaning of knowledge is power is that real power comes
from the knowledge which distinguishes man from animals. It is very true that human beings are
physically weak than animals however they are not so weak by mind because they have knowledge
which gives them true power to handle almost everything in the world. Man is considered as the clever
creature on the earth even after being weak physically than other creatures.

Man has a mind, full of knowledge and thus full of power which make them able to manage various up
and down circumstances in the life. There are many things which man cannot do physically such as
running on bare foot, see far like an eagle, run so fast like panther, fight with forest animals, carry heavy
loads, smell fast like dog, etc; but he can do all things through the technologies developed by him by
using his power of knowledge.

Man has ability to get knowledge (from books, research and experience), preserve into books and again
pass on that knowledge to their successive generations. Knowledge is a power which can control nature’s
forces as well as giving benefits. The use of knowledge depends on the man; he can use it in positive and
negative ways too. The use of knowledge in positive ways give lots of benefits to the humanity however,
in the negative ways, it may destroy the whole planet. Man has power to wisely use the knowledge for
mankind in order to create a better and safer world.

True knowledge keeps people away from the fights, corruption and other social issues harmful for the
humanity. Undoubtedly, we can say that knowledge is power which can bring countless happiness to the
people if it is used in the right direction especially for the welfare of whole humanity. Knowledge opens
the eyes of people and opens all the way to success.
