The pen is mightier than the sword, but the mind is sharper than the pen.

Calister’s Thoughts:

Honestly, Socrates, I’m not into philosophy, but this is my favorite quote of all time. Sure, written words can hurt, but pure mind power beats all. If this was a game of rock-paper-scissors, knowledge could beat all of the above. And, technically, a sword would kill paper every time. Words verses wars? Words can’t win wars, and words can’t jump start a depressed economy, and even though words can help, they can’t do as much devastation as swords, and are certainly lacking against nuclear weapons.
