The pen is mightier than the sword as its effects last longer than the span of one mans life.
We today are living with laws etc. which have their written foundations thousands of years ago.
Thoughts are stronger than weapons....

The double-meaning to the saying "The Pen is mightier than the sword" should be taken into consideration. Both a pen and a sword are phallic, but "Pen is" is a male symbol of love, and the sword is for hate.

This is a sort of chicken-egg question... I like it. Good question.
The pen has the ability to transform thought and gain support from the masses if what has been written with the pen is spread and agreed with.
However, the sword can conquer those masses of people eventually.
Nothing though, can suppress human innovation. The sword was an innovation, just as the pen was.

Hehe...If you put it that way,you can say that the pen is the creator of the sword.Long before swords were invented,in a lot of books it was mentioned maybe a thousand ways a sword looks.
For example many chroniclers sayd theyr version of how a sword might look...Sooooooo...The pen is the swords creator,so that makes the pen mightyer than the sword

The only pen that is worth anything is the one that writes the order for more swords. Writing is mind candy to pacify people who should be organizing and taking action.

I say the pen. The sword can take your life, but the pen can ruin your legacy long after you are dead and gone.

Pen can hurt people's feelings and change their beliefs. A sword can totally remove people's feelings and remove their heads.
