La versión moderna de "The pen is mightier than the sword"

Frase de Edward Bulwer-Lytton para su obra Richelieu; Or the Conspiracy de 1839.

True, This! —

Beneath the rule of men entirely great,

The pen is mightier than the sword. Behold

The arch-enchanters wand! — itself a nothing! —

But taking sorcery from the master-hand

To paralyse the Cæsars, and to strike

The loud earth breathless! — Take away the sword —

States can be saved without it!
