子不学，
非所宜。
幼不学，
老何为?
An unschooled child
Will grow wild.
A poor-learning youth,
Will turn uncouth.
小孩子应该好好学习。一个人如果小时候不好好学习，到老的时候能有什么用呢?
A child should have proper education. If one does not do well, what will become of him when he is grown up?
玉不琢，
不成器。
人不学，
不知义。
A crude jade
Isn't finely made;
Not learning right,
One'll turn slight.
玉不打磨雕刻，不会成为精美的器物;人若是不学习，就不懂得礼仪，不能成才。
If a jade is not honed and carved, it will not be a fine piece of art; if one doesn't receive education, he will not be a gentleman, and will not be something.
为人子，
方少时，
亲师友，
习礼仪。
Son of man,
Mature you can.
Tutors you requite,
Learn the rite.
做儿女的，或如人子，终会长大成人。在成长过程中应学会亲近师友，当心存感激，不要轻慢无礼，要学一些为人处事的礼节。
As children, or son of man like Jesus, you will grow up. While young, you should approach and requite your models like teachers and friends, and learn good manners.
香九龄，
能温席。
