Sayings and lessons... With a twist.

When you combine certain phrases that make sense on their own, it can bring up strange results. Take these two:

 "Knowledge is power."

 "Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Seprate, these provide great lessons, but together they provide a greater truth- one I have found particularly true, though unknown to most- the burden of knowing.

Another thought- this one just an addition of mine:

 "Watch you thoughts as they become your words. Watch your words as they become your actions. Watch you actions as they become your habit. Watch your habit as it becomes your character. Watch your character as it becomes your destiny."

 What I add:

 "But pay little mind to your destiny- or it may become your thoughts."

 I believe this brings things back into a nice loop, and it brings up new ideas. Those worried too much about the future, or what they're told their destiny may be, will dwell on it, and therefore cause it to happen. This once again brings things back into a nice little paradoxical self- fulfilling prophecy.

You can combine, add, or modify many things to change their message entirely, even if they are things ment to send very strong messages like morals.
