THE NATION BUILDERS



                                THE NATION BUILDERS


Central Idea of the Poem

The Poem 'The Nation Builders' tells us that material wealth does not make a nation strong and great. The people of strong character build a nation. People who are ready to make sacrifices for the truth and honour , who are ready to stand firm and suffer, lay solid foundation of a nation.The industries and daring people make a nation great, and not the weak and cowards.

           Not gold, but only men can make 
                       A people great and strong_
          Men who, for truth and honour's sake,
                       Stand fast and suffer long
          Brave men who work while others sleep,
                      Who dare while others fly_
          They build a nation's pillars deep
                     And lift them to the sky.

                                                                                                                                 by R.W. Emerson
