    Old Chinese proverb to describe something small but that contains everything.

    "Sparrow may be small, but they have all 5 major organs."

    Pretty much speaks of the Prius if you asked me.

    How about "A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step"?

    My quote was regarding the Prius's place in the evolution of the hybrid/electric vehicle...
    ...and I just always liked that quote anyway :)

    I don't know... my Prius doesn't have any guts. Oh, that's not a major organ, my bad.

    Engine, brakes, battery, transmission, wheels would pretty much equal. All you need is gas (food) to make it run. For humans the 5 organs are a must to function, including artificial organs.
