"the pen is mightier than the sword"

I absolutely love this saying and admire the person who first told me this. I believe in it and think about it quite a bit. $-MrDollars-$

If it were a very big pen and just a tiny sword... all the best urban

I think pen is mightier when we talk about writings or rating system.It is powerful than a sword because you can rate through the use of pen and not by fighting by sword. It is applicable to students specially for those who are not school abiding one.The teacher will say your grades lies on this pen so you must follow and obey rules in the claroom.Just a small offense we show we will dropped out through writing the grade by the use of pen.Sometimes it is only a form of joke but meaningful if you try to ponder. You can send or let people know what you feels through putting into the paper than having a fight by a sword.Just guess this like a metaphor heheheh. I know sword is mightier than the pen but it depends on how this is use in the situation.

what kicks in my head is this saying is more about ridicule. for example you were bullied. you can get revenge by doing something else other than physical harm. like social harm. you can write stuff about that bully who mugged you. you can say that he s a bully bcuz etc...

Yup, I agree especially nowadays. Pen can change the world and people's mind while sword can only force people to change.
