Words are Sharper than Knife, is an old saying. The meaning of the quote is that, the words spoken by someone might cause deep pain than a knife. The wound given by the knife is a physical pain that might heal with time, but the wound given by the words is an emotional pain that might not get healed with the passage of time. Words spoken by someone is such a weapon that can neither be taken back, nor can be forgotten. Hence, it is always advised to think before speaking to anyone, your one word might give a more painful wound than a knife.
