A stupid man frequently boasts of his knowledge, meanwhile a clever one never does ( he keeps to the saying_the brighter you are the more you'll have to learn). But this example can be referred to other spheres of our lives, besides education. Do not boast in life.......

It means: to boast or brag.

not sure
Old mothers proverb was that if one of you leave, the other must leave without him
It means a person who can do most things but is not an expert in any particular field.
If you mean by adding more details then I strongly suggest you lease well alone, you may alter the whole meaning of the proverb. My suggestion is to fully understand what the writer is saying. There may be symbolic meanings in the work that need to be understood. Certain phrasings may need to be comprehended, for what was meant when the proverb was written may not mean the same thing today. Who is the proverb talking to and does it apply to you.
