Use your words. But oh so carefully.

Be careful with your words. Once they are said, they can only be forgiven, not forgotten. Unknown

The tongue is one of the sharpest weapons we each possess. It wields great power that brings life or death to the hearer. (Read this for more about the tongue.)
Our tongues deliver words but the words are born in our hearts. One might argue with me and say they come from the mind but our minds and tongues are only a delivery system of our hearts. Click here. :)
So, yes, be careful with your words. Before you speak them, think about them, and then you may need to examine your heart. It's always wise to put ourselves in the place of others. Think about the last time someone said something sharp and wounding to you. Hopefully you've been able to forgive them and their careless words but I'm betting you haven't forgotten them. I'm guessing that from time to time they echo in your head and heart and you have to do some work to put those hurtful words back in their proper place. So remember how you feel with those words and the next time you are about to speak and hesitate listen to the hesitation and consider how you want to wield your weapon in the life of another.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.

More bang for your buck

This phrase was used a lot in 1953 but an earlier citation puts it at 1940 in a Metals and Plastics Publications advertisement. Read about it here . The phrase means you get more for your money.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
