Ya I was feeling bored and spiteful after reading this thread, sorry.
Honestly the thought that there could even be universal wisdoms, means whoever is thinking that isn't wise :/

". . . The world is not to be divided into sheep and goats. Not all things are black nor all things white. It is a fundamental of taxonomy that nature rarely deals with discrete categories. Only the human mind invents categories and tries to force facts into separated pigeon-holes. The living world is a continuum in each and every one of its aspects. . . ."

"No documents, no person."
- Mikhail Bulgakov, The Master and Margarita
"When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute and it's longer than any hour. That's relativity."

The early bird gets the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese.
The earlier you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.
