While I write this letter, I have a pistol in one hand and a sword in the other.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Whatever part I'm playing, I always carry with me something that's been used by an illustrious predecessor. I'm a great believer in a touching of hands. I have daggers belonging to Henry Irving and Sarah Siddons.
The pen is mightier than the sword, and is considerably easier to write with.
The pen is mightier than the sword.
My only weapon is the question.
Words are loaded pistols.
A sword in hand is a sure sign of a violent mind; but one does not become non-violent merely by throwing the sword away.
I don't have a weapon in my hand, and I don't have a uniform on my body, but my uniform now is my scars and weapon is my words, so I'm still serving.
One sword keeps another in the sheath.
I wear my Pen as others do their Sword.
The pen is mightier than the sword, and considerably easier to write with.
