One who challenges tradition and prejudice must be very strong to handle the strain of overcoming those who would oppose.
The line is saying that the bird (person) who would rise above the norm must be strong to deal with those who prefer the old ways or cannot see past the differences.
YIM me if you want.

Birds fly with the wind and use its power to gain elevation (to soar). You have to have strength to fly against the wind of public opinion, pre-conceived ideas and prejudice. Believe me, I've done it all my life.

In other words it means that: "the spit of the toad won't reach the soaring dove".

True, but don't forget that, whilst eagles may soar, weasels don't get sucked into jet engines. :-)

no bird will fly too far if it flys with it's own wings.
