The answer is "The pen is mightier than the sword.". The word "mighty" means "powerful", so this means that a pen is stronger than a sword. But you can easily be killed by a sword. How can a pen be more powerful? Obviously, it's because WRITING can reach people all over the world, while a sword can only kill one person at a time.
