    Etymologie

    () This phrasing due to Bulwer-Lytton 1839, in his play Richelieu; Or the Conspiracy: : Beneath the rule of men entirely great, : The pen is mightier than the sword. The sentiment is traditional, and has many antecedents; see Wikipedia. Some examples: * Cicero, De Officiis I.lxxvii: cēdant arma togae (“arms yield to persuasion”). * Antonio de Guevara, 1529, Reloj de príncipes, compares the pen to the lance; translated into English by Thomas North, 1557, as Diall of Princes. * William Shakespeare, 1600, Hamlet, Act 2, scene II, "…many wearing rapiers are afraid of goosequills."
