≈ злой язык убивает; не ножа бойся, а языка
In a discourse warning against sins of the tongue, we might produce many words... less likely to be remembered than... the tongue is nor steel, but it cuts. (R. C. Trench, ‘On the Lessons in Proverbs’, DEP) — Многое можно сказать о том, какое зло язык. Но лучше всего предостережет пословица "язык острее кинжала".
