Meanings of the Phrase, “The Pen is Mightier Than the Sword”

Robert Burton, in 1621, in The Anatomy of Melancholy, stated: "It is an old saying, 'A blow with a word strikes deeper than a blow with a sword': and many men are as much galled with a calumny, a scurrilous and bitter jest, a libel, a pasquil, satire, apologue, epigram, stage-play or the like, as with any misfortune whatsoever." [27] After listing several historical examples he concludes: " Hinc quam sit calamus saevior ense patet", [27] which translates as "From this it is clear how much more cruel the pen may be than the sword."
