"But the commandment of knowledge is yet higher than the command-
ment over the Will: for it is a commandment over the reason, belief,
and understanding of Man, which is the highest part of the mind, and
giveth law to the will itself. For there is no power on earth which setteth
up a throne, or chair of state, in the spirits and souls of men, and in
their cogitations, imaginations, opinions, and beliefs, but knowledge and
learning."-Bacon.
