KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
 “Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to
humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world.” – Louis
Pasteur 
The soldier, the man of the sword, thought they were the master; but they were really in the hands of
the priest, the man of the pen. The pen was mightier than the sword. It was the same in ancient India.
The learned Brahmins were for ages the real rulers of Indian States. They dominated the lower,
ignorant castes; and their knowledge enabled them to manage the Rajas and Maharajas.
Knowledge is not the property of the rich. No class has its monopoly over it. Anyone who
perseveres in this endeavour may excel the others. It not a thing to be bought with riches.
Like wealth or beauty, it does not drop in value by time. Knowledge is power because all the power
in the world owes to it. The power of knowledge has proved its supremacy over everything.
There is no end to the gaining of knowledge, It is only the foolish man who thinks he knows
everything.
As a whole, nothing benefited mankind more than knowledge.
