Happen to read a tamil saying, "KAlam pOkum; vArththai nRkkum". (reference "iniya thamizhil ilakkaNap pizhaiyinRi eluthum muRaikal" page 171). Roughly this proverb conveys "Time flies off, words stick around". What a deep sounding wisdom. When we recollect our past and experience, how true is this wordings!
Thirukural 129 gives a similar view. "Fire burn cures quickly. Hurting words leaves a scar and never forgotten."

Kaalam karayum,
Udambu surungum,
Payanam mudiyum,
Eyalaamai soozhum,
Vaarthaigal ellam Kurayum,
Ninaivugal Sitralayaga maarum,
Anbu mattum Moozgaamal Erunthaal
Vadu thazhumbugal thaanaga marayum.
