Talk:Scientia potentia est

message: Should this article not read "Scientia potestas est" ? That is the Bacon quote as listed in Wikiquote.
Just because it rhymes doesn't mean its right.
I have seen both also.  I don't know, but this way seems to be more common.  Reywas92Talk 00:59, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't know who wrote this article but as far as I see this, the original quote seen out of context. In the Original he writes about the power of God. 
The original says 
" ...  limits of the knowledge of God then of his power, or rather of that part of Gods power (for knowledge it selfe is a power whereby hee knoweth) then of that by which he ... "

thread_title:  Wrong context 

message: How is "scientia potentia est" pronounced? It isn't much help knowing the Latin if you don't know how to say it. My guess from looking at it would be SCI-EN-SHU PO-TEN-SHU ESS, but that could be wildly inaccurate.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.32.84.204 (talk) 00:51, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: My high school Latin teacher would have pronounced it  see-EN-sya po-TEN-sya est  I'm no linguist, but I believe that would be the ecclesiastical Latin pronunciation. The classical Latin pronunciation may differ slightly. IrishCowboy (talk) 17:55, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

text: In Classical Latin, c and t are always hard. Stress goes on the next-to-last syllable (the penult), unless it's short, in which case the stress is on the syllable before that (the antepenult). The pronuciation would be ski-EN-ti-ah po-TEN-ti-ah EST, with the i's pronounced as in English hit and the o in potentia pronouced as in English on. - Cal Engime (talk) 17:53, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

It looks weird.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Briwivell (talk • contribs) 00:05, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

"And that's when I realized, knowledge was power. All of a sudden, Christmas had come early. It was wonderful."
Here, the phrase is just a euphemism for blackmail.--80.141.15.56 (talk) 12:35, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
