Hi Kiran, 

You can achieve this by creating a visualforce component. 

Instead of adding sentences in page 1, add your sentence in component and use that component  in your all VF pages.

OR 
You can use custum settings to achieve this. 
Save some text(sentences) in Custom settings and use that custom settings on your vf pages. 
If you want to change sentence anytime, you just need to change in Custom settings.

Are you talking about the resuability of the code If yes than you can use components as seperate page:

Here is an example how component look like: 
Filie Name: myComponent.component

<apex:component >

//Here is the common code for all the pages, You can create a simple header/footer or you can include all common javascript/Css etc.

</apex:component>

To use this component just use it in this way: 
<apex:page standardController="Account">
   This is my <i>page</i>. <br/>
   <c:myComponent/>
</apex:page>

Here "myComponent" is the name of the component.

Here is the example of visualforce page execution to understand how component works.

Another way is using compositions :
