The proverb "The pen is mightier than the sword" which I read for January 16 from my day calendar "The Worlds Greatest Proverbs" is a very familiar proverb and one I've heard since I was young. The message is simply, you can affect more change with words than with violence. This proverb seems very true when we consider the different religions, philosophies and economic systems at play in the world which all came about from the words and ideas of man. Many of them involved the sword at some point but it's the words that they are fighting over.
