The axiom in this post's title rings true and relates an insightful perspective on effective and enduring communication. While people spend much of their life connecting with others through talking, the verbal exchanges we share are hardly ever recorded, and thus are forgotten through the passage of time. Even the wisest sage would not be able to share his or her knowledge fruitfully to future posterity without the help of written words.
At its best, the written words of humankind is certainly the chief technological feat which has enabled the development of civilizations, documented the precious knowledge of the ages, and facilitated the teaching of and enabling of the youth throughout history, to strive for their highest achievements.
Recorded words has had so much effect in advancing and molding the world, that the old adage, "the pen is mightier than the sword", certainly holds its weight in gold.
