Saying too much

Sometimes saying less is just as informative as saying more.

Throughout my life I have written down thoughts, ideas, song lyrics, humorous quotes, and numerous lessons for teaching.

Here is a sample from my redundancy list:

“Learning process,” learning is a process.
“Belief system,” a belief is a system.
“Leadership role,” leadership is a role.

Here is a sample from my contradictory words list:

New tradition
Live recording
Jumbo shrimp
Partial cease-fire
Civil war
Silent alarm

Ridendo dicere verum
“To tell the truth while laughing”
