"Knowledge is power." Francis Bacon (1561—1626) Lord Chancellor, Member of the Privy Council, and philosopher, experimental physicist, logician and writer.
‘I have taken all knowledge to be my province’, he said. And indeed it was so. Science, as we understand it today, was just born. Knowledge meant classical learning—the works of Greek and Latin scholars at the time.

I don't think that was a philosopher at all! In the 80's (i don't know how old you are..) There was a GI Joe cartoon; and he had a message at the end of each episode..."Knowing Is Half the Battle!" Maybe this is what you are thinking of! I have never heard the term you said spoken by a philosopher!!
