  1. You can only learn new tricks when old if you yourself want to.
  
  2. Clever actions do better than brainless ones. Writing or saying words are also actions.
  
  3. You need to integrate your minds and not just do your own thing.
  
  4. Don't think unneccessarily, but always be with the present.
  
  5. You're a beast if you can't change.

  All these proverbs are to be used in different situation, so you can't really compare them.

  kudos to the treadstarter ...
  
  its does teach us that the next time when we try to explain things and
  tell people some theories... we must not be too cocksure because you
  never know you are in what context to be sure.

  Good observation.
  
  Catchphrases sound wise, but are practically meaningless.
