"Knowledge Is Power" Bracelet

SCIENTIA POTENTIA EST -- "knowledge is power". Attributed to philosopher-scientist Sir Francis Bacon in the 1600's, this phrase has endured for centuries and describes something simple and true: understanding the world gives you power over your own life. Curiosity opens doors that ignorance keeps shut. Knowledge gives you wings to fly. This phrase is also a rallying cry for those who realize that ignorance is a tool of control. Authoritarian movements have always known that an uninformed public is an obedient one -- which is precisely why the free press and public education are among the first targets of tyranny.  For the wearer, this bracelet symbolizes learning as both a lifelong pursuit and an act of resistance. They read widely, ask questions, and seek verifiable truth in our era of propaganda and misinformation. They know that the more they learn, the more they can share that knowledge with others and empower their community.  Crafted impeccably from durable silver colored or gold colored steel with the words engraved on the exterior in visible but subtle lettering, this bracelet will stay shiny and beautiful for years and years. It's engraved on the exterior with visible but subtle lettering. It works well as a single professional bangle or layered with other bracelets (see our full matching set of Latin bracelets). Perfect for: Students, teachers, professors, and mentors Science professionals and science communicators Advocates, activists, antifascists, and antiauthoritarians  Women leaders who get stuff done
