It is simply a saying that the ability to influence public opinion may be more effective and dangerous than simple wrath and violence.
In a direct sense Terry Pratchett had it correct:
"The pen is mightier than the sword, but only if the sword is very small and the pen is very sharp"

The pen is mightier than the sword because you can write surrender agreement and send it to the aggressor, begging them to not kill your family, and friends. By begging, surely they will take pity on you and not enslave or put your family into gas chambers like the Nazis did to my relatives during WWII.
After all, there are lots of countries that managed to have a democracy by using retoric rather than the threat of violence to defend themselves. And here is the list:

I love this quote:
It is so POWERFUL. Basically what it means is that more in this world can be done for the better if we just use words rather than might. You do not need the Army if you solve the problems through discussion and diplomacy.
Why does the US always use muscle first? We dont have to if we are smart, tolerant, forgiving, and have courage. Use our BRAINS rather than our FISTS.

I thought the proposal was preposterous; Me and the queen of my neighboring country in a fight to the death. After all me (being a male) and her in fight to the finish?
I thought long and hard and decided that the only way out was to write a letter,and this is what i wrote;
MARRY ME YOU DUMBASS ***** OR I SHALL SMITE THY COUNTRY TO RUINS NEVER HEARD OF IN WORLD HISTORY!!!
We have now been married forever and the world lives now in peace.
