此鳥不蜚，以長羽翼；不鳴，以觀群臣之慝，是鳥雖不蜚，蜚必沖天；雖不鳴，鳴必驚人。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
此鸟不蜚，以长羽翼；不鸣，以观群臣之慝，是鸟虽不蜚，蜚必冲天；虽不鸣，鸣必惊人。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]- 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.
- This bird does not fly, and thereby grows its wings. It does not sing, and thereby watches 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.
- Alternative form of 忒
