About this Quote

In this quote, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the creator of Pakistan, highlights the 2 primary sources of power in the world - the sword and the pen. The sword represents physical force and military may, while the pen represents understanding, intellect, and diplomacy. Jinnah acknowledges the intense competition and competition between these 2 powers, as they both hold significant influence in shaping the world. Nevertheless, he also acknowledges a 3rd, frequently overlooked power - that of ladies. Jinnah suggests that the strength and impact of women exceeds that of both the sword and the pen. This statement works as a pointer of the important role that ladies play in society and the requirement to recognize and empower their voices.
