文勝於武；筆勝於劍；筆桿子比槍桿子更厲害；筆端千鈞力，刀槍也難敵

英譯：
the pen is mightier than the sword

例句：
Why not give up sword and take up pen? The pen is mightier than the sword for many times. (為什麼不「投戎從筆」呢? 文字的力量可是勝於武力好多倍啊!)

Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons. (不管誰說筆桿子比槍桿子更厲害，他肯定沒遭遇過自動武器)
-- General Douglas MacArthur (麥克阿瑟將軍)
