I took Latin WAAAYYY back in the late-1950's! Now I'm trying to do several short PowerPoint presentations for a Latin teacher, so I'm going to need some help, please. I can't reach him for several days and I need to get this project going. What is the Latin for "knowledge is power" or "knowledge is everything"? Thanks so much for your help, Jill

You could say:
Scientia est potentia
kinda snappy

...or quoting Sir Francis Bacon...

Nam et ipsa scientia potestas est
(For knowledge itself is power)

Myself, I'd go with Bacon.
