What Oobleck was saying to Jaune and Cardin was him telling them to step up or they will fail. He mentions that the two were struggling in his class since day 1.

As to what Ozpin was saying, I think he means that knowledge can only take you to a certain length and your skill is to take you the rest of the way. Which makes sense, of course. Skill and knowledge combined takes you further than one or the other alone.

And about the "legends shpeel". I wouldn't think much of it.

As for a connection, none whatsoever.
