Main text:

一日不讀書口中生荊棘

Thorns will grow in your mouth if you go one day without reading/studying.

(하루라도 책을 읽지 않으면 입속에 가시가 돋는다)

The rest:

庚戌三月 扵旅順獄中 大韓國人 安重根 書

Third month of 庚戌 (1910), Imprisoned at Port Arthur, (written by) Ahn Jung-Geun, Citizen of the Korean Empire.

  • @水巷孑蠻 「於」and「扵」are variants which have the same definition. I chose「扵」because it's closer to the shape seen on the calligraphy sample. Note how the author writes the「方」in「旅」right underneath - he did not write「方」in「扵」.

这句话想表达的意思是:不读书就不会说话或说不出精彩的话。 类似于宋朝的名言“三日不读书,面目可憎” 。几天不读书,就感觉自己很很粗鄙。
