I want to say something profound...
You know the kind. A phrase to echo the reccesses of a troubled mind, only to revert back to reality a sense of purpose and determination, where otherwise it was simply a collection of words.
"With a collection of words, we can echo into the reccesses of troubled minds a sense of purpose and determination."
Though the trick is to make it universally applicable. Profound phrases do not necisarily appeal only to troubled minds. In fact, some of the most profound things said appeal to all who read it.
"With a collection of words, we can echo into minds a sense of purpose and determination."
Who is to say that the outcome of any phrase would either be purpose or determination? Seriously, to someone who struggles with belonging, or a reason for their existence, it may speak purpose to them; to someone dealing with failure, they may here determination. But to anyone else, that phrase is useless.
"With a collection of words, we can echo into minds a wonderful uplifting."
Perhaps instead of opening up the phrase to mean anything, narrowing it down might paint a clearer picture. "A wonderful uplifting" is great, but does that really mean anything?
"With a collection of words, we can speak love into minds."
For a stronger impact, instead of stating what you can do, you might choose to just do it. To what effect to we acheive simply by talking about things, instead of doing them.
"Speak love into minds."

...I wonder if this is really profound... or did I just pull that out of my ass.
