Well, the first one is about Buddha trying to warn his disciple about the influential person and ambitious thoughts, these words were need because we all know the power of language i.e, one can be influenced by a person because of his way of presenting it, good or bad.
example- salesmen
Leonardo Di Vinci
now if you see it like this way:
i think he was trying to symbolize 'success' with flight.
We all know people salute rising sun: a successful person.
Albert Einstein is talking about perceptions or you can say what he is trying to say is: common sense is prejudice formed till the time period of 18.
And, unknown is making it very clear, its what what we are capable of doing and what we are trying to achieve,
its like if you are a football player then what are you doing in baseball field.

Buddhas is the classic philosophical treacle that serves as self-deprecating misinformation
Divinci's is more like an aphorism that says a lot of what you already knew
Einstein's is the most telling one, he obviously got laid at 18
the unknown is a classical cynical statement that makes /adds superfluous meaning to crappy jokes.

Let's work on using spell check. Your question is really many questions and I just don't have the energy to do the systematic work necessary to adequately respond.

They are shades of the same concept except for Buddha's which is incorrect, mostly.
