Translation Help

I want to use this for a signature for email.
Can anyone help translating into Greek:
The pen is mightier than the sword.

Thanks!

There's no "pen" in Ancient Greek (and no pencil as far as I know), but how about using "writing is mightier than the sword", which I think would look like this in Attic:

"ksipheos graphein iphthimoteros"

I don't think writing, in the Ancient Greek world, had the power it has in this modern printing society. The role of spreading ideas and news was on the poets and heralds. So how about a phrase that goes like "a herald(or messaenger) is worth an army"

ἄγγελος ἄξιος στρατόπεδου.

or, more visually(???), and with repeating -ng-g at the both ends:

ἄγγελος ἄξιος φάλαγγος
