Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Proverbs 12.  The proverb today is  the pen is mightier than

the sword.  You might have heard this before. This is

程度副詞

a very famous proverb. It comes up every now and then. Let's take a look at the note.

This proverb expresses the idea that writing especially good writing with a

good message is stronger than a military force or someone that is opposing you

with physical violence. You know they might been proved before with like

Gandhi or Martin Luther King I think they helped to prove that idea. All right let's take a look at

the first example. Example number one I chose to become a writer because I believe the pen is mightier than the sword.  I believe

I can influence and change the mind of people more through my writing than

anything else. Okay good.  Let's look at the second example here.  Stalin

is quoted as saying ideas are more powerful than guns, we wouldn't allow

them to have guns why should we let them have ideas. Remember I  covered this quote in a previous video.

So here we see Stalin must believe the pen is mightier than the sword.

Because yeah that's,  that's well you know when  communists and socialists often

take over a country,  they often take over the school system.  The training so they

want to control everything. They want to control people's thinking. So this would

mean the pen is mightier than the sword at some point.  Okay I hope you got it.  I

hope was informative.  Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
