This is a line from Shakespeare's poem Seven Ages of Man, that famously begins, " All the world's a stage / And all the men and women merely players".
The poem is describing one man's stages in life:
1st - infant
2nd - schoolboy
3rd - lover
4th - soldier
5th - justice
6th - old man
7th - second childhood or extreme old age
This line refers to the fifth stage where the man is a justice, or judge. Wise saws are traditional, well understood legal rulings and modern instances are new judgments.
Also it can mean that that they are wise sayings and modern thoughts
saws
The scientific name for modern humans is Homo sapiens, where Homo refers to the genus and sapiens means wise or discerning in Latin. It emphasizes the cognitive abilities and intelligence that distinguish humans from other species.
"saw" in the Shakespearean language means a wise guy.

Modern interps: Smart mouth Smart ass wise guy (not sure about possible mob term origins here) Wise mouth wise acre (not so modern) wise ass flippant smarty pants

Wise Man
Sapien, derived from the latin language, translates into the word wise. Put with Homo as Homo sapien, it would be loosely transfered as "Wise Man"
