The famous saying “Pen is mightier than the sword” signifies that writing is a powerful tool than violence. English author Edward Bulwer Lytton indited it in 1839. A pen can accomplish a lot more than a sword. It indicates that the power of writing is eternal, while the power of the sword is short-lived. The capability of writing is more significant than the power of hatred and war. A sword or a pen does not work on its own; we are the ones who operate them. We are the ones who can make a difference in whether to fight or to write. The proverb infers that the writers, authors, or scholars invisibly exert a greater impact on people than conflicts. The art of writing is more significant compared to the sharpness of a sword. This is because the fame of the sword causes pain and does not last forever, while the impact of writing is pre-eminent influencing nations for years ahead. Ideas have a more significant impact than violence. Force is not capable of changing the ideas and beliefs of the people. When new ideas influence people, changes occur in society. The pen certainly is more powerful than the sword. The tasks that can be completed with a small tip of a pen cannot be accomplished if we use something as mighty as a sword.
