The tongue is a powerful medium of expression. It produces the language we speak and so, it can hurt or heal, tell the truth or be deceitful, according to the wants of the soul in charge.

In Finnish there’s a proverb “Älä nuolaise ennenkuin tipahtaa” (straight translation: “Don’t lick before it drops”). I’m fascinated by nonsensical things and find proverbs in all languages very entertaining. They tell about the culture and the sense of humor of the people speaking the language.
