Let us pick up our books and our pens, they are the most powerful weapons.

About This Quote

The quote, “Let us pick up our books and our pens, they are the most powerful weapons,” was written by George Washington. Washington had more power than any other man in the American Revolution. He led the colonies to victory against the British for independence. But even after victory, he didn’t rest on his laurels.

Instead, he wrote hundreds of letters praising his men and praising the cause for which they fought. He knew that freedom wasn’t easy to win and that freedom meant freedom for all.
