Hmm... neither wise nor unwise. Less insightful than it seems at first glance.
"The early bird gets the worm" is an old adage that was later refuted with, "but the second mouse gets the cheese." In this context, the exchange makes sense. As a single quote, it's essentially a null statement (that is, any assertion made in the first half is nullified by the "wisdom" in the second).
The only conclusive thing this statement implies is that both the bird and mouse need to eventually rise. But this quote only implies this at best.
