Yilin Verse

一口三舌,相妨无益。群羊百䍧,不為威強。亡馬失駒,家耗於財。

One mouth with three tongues, mutually hindering and without benefit. A hundred rams in the flock, yet they do not make for strength. Horses and colts are lost; the household's wealth is consumed.

— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
