I don't claim to have much experience in life as of this moment, but the one thing that came to mind when i read your opening post was this:
Embody what you teach and only teach what you embody.
Socrates, from Path of the peaceful Warrior, by Dan Millman.
Here's another on the search for enlightenment from the same source I think:
Better to never begin. Once begun, better finish.
I still don't completely understand that one. Surely, it's better to improve your life to seek enlightenment than to never try, to not seek it at all?
Why those two came to me, I don't know.
