Ok, Ok, Ok...... lol.... points taken...

We won't call them "Russian wisdom" anymore, although I have to say that not all Russian sayings are perfect examples of literary grace and truth either.

For example, "Тише едешь, дальше будешь" is certainly not always true. In fact, if you keep quiet while being attacked by a wild mountain lion, you have a good chance of dying sooner rather than later! Sometimes you have to scream and yell if you want to live. But, at least this saying rhymes I suppose.

I have no idea where the saying (in the original post) originated. I subscribe to some of these "wisdom of the day" pages on Facebook, and I like this one because it's in Russian. It's a good translation exercise for me.
