Answer 1

You could google Desiderata & try that - it has all the answers for now & forever in it. It is a short piece.

Regards.

Answer 2

One that comes to mind for me is Solomon.  Whatever your beliefs, he wrote some pretty good stuff.

"He who walks with the wise grows wiser, but a companion of fools suffers harm".

you can check out Biblegateway.com and type in proverbs.

Answer 3

"with age comes wisdom."

Old people, gray hair, sometimes even blind eyes, owls

Answer 4

Owls are symbols of wisdom.
