A gentleman's trip is quiet to cultivate one's morality, and frugal to cultivate one's morality. If you are not indifferent (indifferent), you will have no ambition, and if you are not quiet, you will be far away. Husband (fú) must be quiet before he can learn. If you don't learn, you can't be versatile, and if you don't want to learn, you can't succeed. Debauchery can't have vitality, and danger can't have temperament. Time goes by, meaning goes by, and then becomes withered, not meeting the world, and staying in a poor house sadly. What will happen?

Translation:

People with high moral character and both ability and political integrity cultivate their body and mind by inner peace and concentration, and cultivate their moral character by frugal style. Without worldly fame and fortune, you can't define your ambitions, and without physical and mental peace, you can't realize your lofty ideals. You must concentrate on your studies, and you must study hard to increase your talents. If you don't study hard, you can't increase your intelligence. If you don't have a clear ambition, you can't achieve anything in your study. Excessive enjoyment and laziness can't make progress, and frivolous impatience can't cultivate temperament. As time flies, the will fades with the passage of time, so it gradually withers, and most of them can't integrate into society, sadly guarding the poor home. It will be too late (regret)!
