27 Jun The Remarkable Saadi

Another Magnificent Persian poet who touched the hearts of millions with his beautiful poetry. Shakh-Muslah-ud-Din SAADI, also known as Sadi of Shiraz, was born in 1213 and his most famous work titled: Gulistan (or Golestan) is a collection of short anecdotes based on his life experiences and observations, exploring issues faced by mankind.

Here’s a magical excerpt from the 8^th chapter for your enjoyment:

“The truly wise man practiseth humility ; the bough full of fruit inclineth its head towards the ground.
It is in those of high estate that humility appeareth to most advantage ;
in the beggar it is only the mark of his profession.”
