     From: 1st century BCE, 《新序》

     Cǐ niǎo bù fěi, yǐ cháng yǔyì; bù míng, yǐ guān qúnchén zhī tè, shì niǎo suī bù fěi, fěi bì chōngtiān; suī bù míng, míng bì jīngrén. [Pinyin]

     This bird does not fly, and thereby grows its wings. It does not sing, and thereby watches [in secret] the vices of the king and his ministers. Though this bird does not fly, when it flies, it will surely pierce the heavens. Though it does not sing, when it sings, it will surely astonish the people.
