When you use the same phrase backward and forward in the same sentence, you're creating a "shismus." Here's a few from I've collected:

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.

Don't sweat the petty things, and don't pet the sweaty things.

People need a leader more than a leader needs people.

Don't count the days, make the days count.

And one my all time favorites:

I'm sure there's many more...
