Pic. 1,

不鳴則己
Silent until it cries out

The first half of a well-known Chinese idiom
不鳴則己　一鳴驚人
(Silent until it criest out, then it amazes the world", meaning that someone who doesn't usually show outstanding talent suddenly achieves remarkable success.

Pic.2,

百歳千秋　
A hundred years and a thousand years

Describes a long period of time

With regards,
I.Nagy
