Saadieh (the mausoleum of Saadi (Persian poet in 13th century))

Saadieh (the tomb of Saadi (Persian poet in 13th century):

The place which invites you to wisdom and rationality to present Saadi the father of psychology. 

He was a real traveler as he traveled as much as possible to find out the real concept of life and the way of life. He tried to let everyone know the best way to communicate with others and life in general. He did so through two books which are called Bustan and Golestan one in prose and another one in poem.

He paid attention to every single moment of life and gives you the best way to face that moment deliberately. Saadi was a genius in Persian literature and psychology.

Many of his words were published in many countries including European, Asian and even American.

Reading his books let you know yourself and teach you how to behave much better.

When you enter this garden feel tact and wisdom everywhere. The building looks like a turban in turquoise which draws your attention and invites you to meet the tomb stone of this great poet from 13^th century.

It is impossible to know the Persian literature without considering Saadi’s books which have had a great influence on Persian literature in history.

Some of his words are:

“Nothing is so good for an ignorant man as silence; and if he was sensible of this he would not be ignorant.”

“I fear God and next to God I mostly fear them that fear him not.”

“Whoever acquires knowledge but does not practice it is as one who ploughs but does not sow.”

“The best loved by God are those that are rich, yet have the humility of the poor, and those that are poor and have the magnanimity of the rich.”

To visit the mausoleum of Saadi you should go to Saadie which is located in north western part of the city of Shiraz.
