Habibeh Mirzai Aghdam, alireza hajiyan nejad(Author in Charge)

Abstract
Wise words and teachings play the role of education in moral growth and since a long time ago the discussion over wisdom and the themes related to that has occupied a significant status among scholars and thinkers. Nasirean Ethics is one of the most important books on wisdom whose topics are related to practical wisdom which its compilation terminated in 633 A.H by Khaje Nasir al-Din al- Tusi. It is compiled in three chapters: moral refinement, family management, and politics. Saadi whose appellation was “the most eloquent rhetorician” and whose rhetoric was undoubtedly beyond question represented, through either direct or indirect influence, the three aforementioned wise themes of this work ( Nasirean Ethics) in the form of adages in eight chapters of his Golestan. In this study, through a prologue and three speeches, an attempt is made to investigate the extent and the manner of reflecting these themes and constituents in Golestan Saadi which is a didactic work. Finding these common themes and understanding them significantly help the reading and perceiving the wise words of Saadi in Golestan. This investigation indicates that Saadi has used the moral virtues in the major part of Golestan.
