The pen is usually linked with writing. It helps the writer to record his thoughts on paper. Sword is a weapon used forcefully against someone. A sword can be wielded well only by those who are physically fit. But words can flow from the pen of even a feeble man. If he is a good writer, he can use the words to their desired effect. whereas Actions speak louder than words refers to actions that should meet verbal obligations or sentiments. If a person constantly talks about the plight of the poor but never thinks of donating to a charity or in any way mitigating that plight, their words have a hollowness or empty quality. read less

In this case action speaks louder than words. When they enter into service industry or into business of their own documentation is extremely important and hence "the pen is mightier than the sword". So all proverbs are relevant depending upon situations.

All proverbs have a counter. (For instance, "Opposites attract" and "Birds of a feather flock together". It's the basic premise of human nature and life to not have rigid advice. A balance between contradictory paths is always necessary, and there's no right or wrong way.

Has your grand father, grand mother, uncle or aunt ever corrected your Spoken English? In many parts of Tamil Nadu, especially in villages, a car was addressed as a "Pleasure" (during1960s). My father's elder brother worked as a Government Interpreter, English-Tamil-English, in Singapore during British rule and spent half span of his life there with his family. After retirement he settled down in his native town in Tamil Nadu. He used to teach English to youngsters and correct their silly mistakes too. Once we were shouting "Pleasure, pleasure" on seeing a car plying in our town. He explained how the word "Pleasure" originated. Travelling by car is still a pleasure but one used to feel overjoyed in those days. Some educated person called the experience as a "Pleasure" and villagers misinterpreted it and started calling a car a "Pleasure".
