so I was reading well of ascension, when I noticed that during the whole convectional of seran stuff with Sazed and Marsh, Sazed is ruminating on how he wasn't a warrior because of reason a, reason b, and reason c, then he said after talking about feruchemy, "strength did not, a warrior make." is Sazed Yoda now? are Yoda and Sazed companions? are they colleagues? or was this just an Easter egg? or a spelling mistake? we'll see...

Do you mean this quote?

WoA Ch 12

Spoiler

Did Marsh understand how unskilled Sazed was in this area? Amazing strength did not a warrior make.

What does that have to do with Yoda? It's a Hyperbaton, specifically a derivation of one translation from Aristotle:

Quote

One swallow does not a summer make

More specifically:

Amazing strength - Subject

Did not make - verb

Warrior - Object

Where the object phrase is pushed forward to give it emphasis.

*****

Conversely, Yoda's speech is known for putting forms of "Be" at the end - but more often puts the object before the verb

Central verb

“Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” — Yoda

“Always pass on what you have learned.” — Yoda

“Patience you must have my young Padawan.” — Yoda

“In a dark place we find ourselves, and a little more knowledge lights our way.” – Yoda

“Powerful you have become, the dark side I sense in you.” – Yoda

“Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose.” — Yoda

“Feel the force!”– Yoda

“Do or do not. There is no try.” – Yoda

“Great warrior. Wars not make one great.” – Yoda

“Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? – Yoda

“You will find only what you bring in.” – Yoda

 


Ending Verb:

Spoiler

 

“The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see the light, the future is.” – Yoda

“Truly wonderful the mind of a child is.” – Yoda

“Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Consume you, it will.” – Yoda
