Science, Not Knowledge, is Power
A science is not mere knowledge, it is knowledge which has undergone a process of intellectual digestion. It is the grasp of many things brought together in one, and hence is its power; for, properly speaking, it is Science that is power, not Knowledge..,
John Henry Newman, Discourses on the scope and nature of university education addressed to the Catholics of Dublin (1852)
