सुभाषितसुधानिधि - वाक्सायका

वाक्सायका वदनान्निष्पतन्ति
    यैराहतः शोचति रात्र्यहानि ।
परस्परं मर्मसु ते पतन्ति
    तान् पण्डितो नापसृजेत्परेषु ॥

parasparam marmasu te patanti
     tAn paNdito na apasRujet pareShu ॥

Words are like arrows falling (shot) off our mouth. One who is hit by that arrow will suffer night and day. Usually people hit other where they are most vulnerable. Wise men will not use such tactics on others since they do not wish to hurt others.
