English to Latin

from translation requests

"The pen is mightier than the sword" (Our entry the pen is mightier than the sword has some translations but not Latin. Thank you.) RJFJR 15:48, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

There are several possible translations, here are a few I found:

• calamus gladio fortior
• stilus potentior quam gladius
• penna acrior quam gladius

The corresponding Latin proverb is Cedant arma togae, literally "Arms yield to the toga" (i.e. to discussion). —Angr 09:46, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
