“A tongue has no bones, but it can break a heart…”

This quote is widely attributed online to Irina Swart, often written as: “A tongue has no bones but it is strong enough to break the heart, so be careful with your words.”

However, there is no reliable evidence of an earlier, definitive source, so it is best treated as a modern internet quote commonly credited to Irina Swart, not a historically verifiable saying.
