$19.97
The Knowledge is Power Tee
This t-shirt features a powerful and ancient proverb, widely used in Brazil to comment on the value of knowledge: "Em terra de cego, quem tem um olho é rei" (In a land of blind people, he who has one eye is king).
The meaning is a sharp commentary on standing out: "Amidst ignorance, he who has a little bit of knowledge stands out." It's a reminder that even a small amount of insight, awareness, or skill can make you a leader when surrounded by those who lack it.
For Brazilians living abroad, this shirt is a thought-provoking piece of cultural heritage, a common saying that speaks to ambition and the importance of education. For foreigners and enthusiasts of Brazilian culture, it's a fascinating piece of apparel that highlights the pragmatic wisdom found in Portuguese proverbs.
Wear this shirt as a subtle, yet profound, statement about the power of knowledge and the value of being informed.
