"The pen is mightier than the sword"
- Edward Bulwer - Lytton in 1839, Cardinal Richelieu.
Context:
"But now, at your command are other weapons, my good Lord."
"The pen is mightier than the sword... Take away the sword; States can be saved without it!"

Beneath the rule of men entirely great / The pen is mightier than the sword.
Or, to say it another way, "when competently wielded, the pen is mightier than the sword".

There are three types of creatures on Earth: humans, animals, and animals pretending to be human.
Fail to discern between them at your peril.

"Attitudes have a kind of inertia. Once set in motion, they will keep going, even in the face of the evidence. To change an attitude requires a considerable amount of work and suffering. The process must begin either in an effortfully maintained posture of constant self-doubt and criticism or else in a painful acknowledgement that what we thought was right all along may not be right after all. Then it proceeds into a state of confusion. This state is quite uncomfortable; we no longer seem to know what is right or wrong or which way to go. But it is a state of openness and therefore of learning and growing. It is only from the quicksand of confusion that we are able to leap to the new and better vision." - M. Scott Peck
