I don't think I've ever paid particular attention to this phrase, if I've ever come across it before this "sticks and stones can break your bones, but words can never hurt you" OTOH, I do remember this particular kural from the Thirukkural Verse 129 The wound caused by fire heals in its time; But the burn seared in by an inflamed tongue will never heal.
