Amir al-Mu'minin (Commander of the Faithful) Ali, peace be upon him:

"Speech is in your control until you speak it; once you speak it, you fall under its control. Guard your tongue as you guard your gold and silver, for a single word may snatch away a blessing and bring about a calamity."

Wisdom 381, Nahj al-Balagha.
