2. អប់រំ និងចំណេះដឹង (Education and Knowledge)
Khmer word :មានទ្រព្យគាប់គ្រាន់បើ តែពុំស្មើនឹងវិជ្ជា
Khmer spelling : (mean troap koab' kroan' baeu, tae pum smaeu nung vijea)
English by Khmer: (have riches right enough maybe, but not equal with knowledge)
English Description: To possess wealth is good, but it is not worth more than possessing knowledge.

Indeed, we must cherish knowledge and wisdom more than wealth, however a virtuous life (regardless of how much knowledge and money one obtains) is of greater value.
