As Martin Luther said, "A nation's prosperity does not depend on its treasury being rich, nor on its castles being strong, nor on its public buildings being magnificent, but on the education of its people, their foresight, and the quality of their character." This book is another classic work by the renowned British moralist Samuel Smiles, following his "Self-Help." It aims to improve the moral standards and personal conduct of the entire nation, guiding society toward national wealth and strength.
