What is the origin of the statement sticks and stones may break your bones but words will never hurt you?

Sticks and Stones is a double entendre for Palestein. Sticks - palas/pides/pales (roots in Latin and Greek); Stones - "stein" (Yiddish via Latin / Greek / Aramaic / Hebrew" (i.e. Ben Stein is Ben Stone). "Words" in English is the pronunciation of "Weres" in old Yiddish a.k.a. High German. "Harm me" not "hurt me" is the alternate way of referring to Germany, i.e."Harmanli"(Bg) or "Harmanme"(Hg), the formal High German/Yiddish name being Ashkenazi. It all relates to a growing schism between pre-WWars German Jews and Palesteinian Jews, Palestinian Jews calling German Jews "antisemites" (thus coined the expression). Basically, Palestein may bust my balls, but your words(men) will never Germane/Harm/Have Significance - as many German Jews believed that God led righteous Jews out of their enemies midst in Palestein to a new Oz/Aus/Ash promised land of plenty and peace. The World Wars, for obvious reasons, changed the sentiments of many rabis on this issue and, actually, resolved the schism to rejoin or reunite Jews in the cause for a sovereign state, which became Israel in 1949.
