Question

Translate any five of the quotations you like.

Answer in Brief

Solution

  1. If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.
    - अगर आप सच बोलते हैं, तो आपको कुछ भी याद रखने की जरूरत नहीं है।
  2. Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.
    - जब भी आप अपने आप को बहुमत की तरफ पाएं, तो रुककर और विचार करने का समय है।
  3. Thousands of geniuses live and die undiscovered - either by themselves or by others.
    - हजारों प्रतिभाशाली लोग बिना खोजे ही जीते और मर जाते हैं - चाहे वो खुद से हो या दूसरों से।
  4. When I was younger I could remember anything, whether it happened or not.
    - जब मैं छोटा था, मैं कुछ भी याद रख सकता था, चाहे वो हुआ हो या न हुआ हो।
  5. When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it’s a sure sign you’re getting old.
    - जब आपके दोस्त आपको यह कहकर चापलूसी करने लगें कि आप कितने युवा दिखते हैं, तो यह एक निश्चित संकेत है कि आप बूढ़े हो रहे हैं।
