It means truth is mightier than swords! Lasting longer. Sorry I do not know who first said that.
The Truth:
For God so loved the people of the world that he gave his one and only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. John 3:16,17
