There's a "good" german saying in regards to knowledge being power. I know some of the dutchies will be able to understand it.

Wissen ist Macht.
Weiß nix, macht nix!

It wouldn't come over properly if I tried translating it, so I wont even bother :narnar:

Knowledge is power
Know nothing, doesn't matter.
 
Atleast that''s how interpretate it...
Although "macht nix" could also be; doesn't do anything...

another way to translate it:
 
Knowledge is power;
Know nothing - do nothing.
(although in Slang, "macht nichts" means indeed "whatever" or "never mind")
"Even in a justified war, only one place there is for the dead; if someone loses - it\'s only you. Prime Ministers leave without a scratch - when everything ends they mourn the people; but I want to live on and mourn them"
