Pen sword

The pen is mightier than the sword, but the pen sword is the mightiest. It can cut a line through paper with a blade of ink as easily as it can cut through flesh with a blade of steel.

The Pen is Mightier Than the Sword

An idiom that means; those who control information have far more power than those with military force. It is actually a fallacy - Patton himself proved this. The idiom assumes the people are smart to begin with, an assumption that has been proven wrong countless times in history. And whoever said that has obviously never encountered automatic weapons anyway.

Somebody thinking he's smart: I control information! I control the people! The pen is mightier than the sword!

A realist: I control the weapons! Might makes right!

the pen is mightier than the sword

it means the pen is a better weapon than the sword because its smaller and more manueverable. also you can fill the ink tube with poison and stab someone with it for example, in the neck. its better for sneaking up on someone, or for use in small spaces.

you got a sword? so what i got a pen. yeah u better run u woman.
