Answer:
The pen is mightier than the sword.
"The pen is mightier than the sword" is a proverb which celebrates the power of writing and expresses the fact that scholars are more powerful with words than warriors with swords. The power of a pen is mightier than that of the sword, which means, the power of writing is stronger than the power of war, hatred, and conflict.
A sword is capable of conquering the physical but the pen can conquer the mind and the heart of people. The achievement of the pen is through enlightenment of minds and not by at force or bloodshed. The influence of a pen is long lasting but the power of the sword is short-lived.
The achievement of great kings and emperors are long gone. But the writings of ancient philosophers, teachers and preachers continue live and speak to us even today.
Huge works of architecture and giant monuments will crumble down someday. A war can destroy impressive human works made of marble and decorated with gold plated objects. They are doomed to ruin with the passage of time. But the work of a pen will live on. The words written with the pen carry ideas, knowledge and wisdom. These are written in the hearts of the readers and cannot be destroyed but passed along for posterity.
