In his historical play, novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton has Cardinal Richelieu assert, “The pen is mightier than the sword... Take away the sword; States can be saved without it!” (Of course, as accountants we often prefer pencils.)
Similar phrases appear throughout literature. Robert Burton, in The Anatomy of Melancholy: "A blow with a word strikes deeper than a blow with a sword". Even Napoleon is sometimes quoted as saying, "Four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than 1,000 bayonets.”
