I feel like this a skill I need to work on. I'm pretty witty, but not sure how to be tactful

I saw a saying "Tact is getting your point across without making an enemy in the process" and completely agree with it. I like to be witty and sharp with my words too, but one also needs to be empathetic. Will this hurt the other person? Is it necessary to say it out loud? Is there a kinder way to say it? It is easy to fall into the pit of "unsugarcoated honesty" and I feel that when I did that in the past, I always had some unresolved anger or insecurity going on inside.
Now I like to be tactful with everyone, even if I don't like them. Silence is always more powerful than words.
