Proverbs 10:6

Blessings crown the head of the righteous, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked. (Proverbs 10:6)

Controlling the tongue is a lot easier said than done. We must be careful that we do not lose control of our tongue when we are angry. The ‘wicked’ use their tongues in such a way that it actually incites violence in the other person, and violence is the final result to what they have said. He who lives by the sword dies by the sword. What we actually want is for people to be ‘nice’ to us and bless us. Paul said, "For if I grieve you, who is left to make me glad but you whom I have grieved?". Let’s take the ‘right’ tongue into our households and lives and reap the wonderful benefits of those around us making us ‘glad’.
