History Quotes

दीर्घकालिक दृष्टिकोण से, मुझे उम्मीद है कि जैसे-जैसे वियतनाम अंतरराष्ट्रीय बाजार से गहरे संबंधों के साथ एक अधिक समृद्ध समाज के रूप में विकसित होगा, वह बाहरी दुनिया को लेकर अपने मन से अंतर्निहित संदेह को छोड़ देगा और हाल ही में थाईलैंड और मलेशिया में हुई प्रगति की तर्ज पर विकास करना शुरू करेगा।

In the longer term, I hope that as Vietnam evolves into a more prosperous society with active ties to the international marketplace, it will lose its inherent suspicion of the outside world and begin to develop along the lines of what has recently been happening in Thailand and Malaysia.

अगर [हो ची मिन्ह] को अपने आंदोलन की पूरी छूट (कार्टे ब्लैंच) होती, तो क्या युद्ध के परिणाम कुछ और होते? यह कहना मुश्किल है। कुछ मामलों में—जैसे 1945 और 1946 में—ऐसा लगा कि उन्होंने इस संभावना को कुछ ज्यादा ही आंक लिया था कि अमेरिका उनकी सरकार और वियतनाम लोकतांत्रिक गणराज्य (DRV) की स्वतंत्रता को मान्यता दे सकता है (हालांकि, निष्पक्षता से कहें तो उन्होंने शुरुआत में ही चेतावनी दी थी कि शीत युद्ध के कारण वाशिंगटन अंततः फ्रांस के साथ जाने का फैसला कर सकता है)।

If [Ho Chi Minh] had had carte blanche over his movement, would the results of the war have been different? That is difficult to say. In some cases - as in 1945 and 1946, he appeared to overestimate the possibility that the United States might decide to recognize his government and the independence of the DRV (although to be fair, from the outset he had warned that Washington might eventually decide to align with the French because of the Cold War).

शुरुआत से ही, जब [हो ची मिन्ह] 1920 में फ्रांसीसी कम्युनिस्ट पार्टी के सदस्य बने, तो वे एक स्वतंत्र विचारक थे जिन्होंने मार्क्सवादी-लेनिनवादी विचारों और रणनीतियों को हिंद-चीन (इंडोचाइना) की वास्तविक परिस्थितियों के अनुसार ढाला।

From the outset, when [Ho Chi Minh] became a member of the French Communist Party in 1920, he was an independent thinker who adjusted Marxist-Leninist ideas and tactics to what he perceived to be the concrete situation in Indochina.

हो ची मिन्ह के सहयोगियों में से कोई भी राजनीतिक संघर्ष, मनोवैज्ञानिक युद्ध और कूटनीतिक तौर-तरीकों का उपयोग करने के लिए उतना समर्पित नहीं था जितना कि वह खुद थे।

None of Ho Chi Minh's colleagues was as dedicated to the use of political struggle, psychological warfare, and diplomatic means as he was.

हो ची मिन्ह ने अर्ध-सैन्य गतिविधियों के साथ-साथ मुख्य रूप से कूटनीतिक और राजनीतिक साधनों का उपयोग करके दोनों विरोधियों [फ्रांसीसी और अमेरिकी] को हराने का प्रयास किया।

Ho Chi Minh sought to defeat both adversaries [French and American] primarily by using diplomatic and political means, combined with paramilitary activities.

मुझे सबसे पहले 1964-1965 में हो ची Minh में दिलचस्पी तब हुई जब मैं विदेश विभाग के एक फॉरेन सर्विस ऑफिसर के रूप में दक्षिण वियतनाम में अमेरिकी दूतावास में तैनात था। साइगॉन की सरकार पतन के कगार पर थी और [लिंडन] जॉनसन प्रशासन वहां कम्युनिस्टों की जीत को रोकने के लिए अमेरिकी लड़ाकू सैनिकों को भेजने की तैयारी कर रहा था। मुझे पूरा विश्वास हो गया था कि अमेरिका का यह प्रयास सफल नहीं होगा क्योंकि वियत कांग की तुलना में साइगॉन सरकार में दृढ़ संकल्प की भारी कमी थी, जबकि वियत कांग में गजब का अनुशासन और आत्म-बलिदान की भावना थी।

I first became interested in Ho Chi Minh in 1964-1965 while I was stationed at the U.S. Embassy in South Vietnam as a foreign service officer with the Department of State. The government in Saigon was at the point of collapse and the [Lyndon] Johnson administration was preparing to send U.S. combat troops to prevent a communist victory there. I became convinced that the U.S. effort would not succeed because of the lack of conviction in the Saigon government compared to the discipline and sense of self-sacrifice among the Viet Cong.

हो ची मिह अच्छी तरह जानते थे कि दुश्मन के पास उनकी सेना की तुलना में अधिक मारक क्षमता है, इसलिए उन्होंने एक सुसज्जित दुश्मन को हराने के लिए अपने क्रांतिकारी आंदोलन के उस राजनीतिक और नैतिक पक्ष को एक अचूक हथियार के रूप में इस्तेमाल करने की कोशिश की, जिसे वे श्रेष्ठ मानते थे। ये विचार मूल रूप से 1920 और 1930 के दशक में एक क्रांतिकारी के रूप में उनके शुरुआती वर्षों में उपजे थे, और फ्रांसीसी (1946-1954) तथा संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका (1959-1965) के खिलाफ हुए युद्धों के दौरान भी उनके सुझावों को प्रभावित करते रहे।

Ho Chi Minh was well aware that the enemy possessed more firepower than did his own forces, and sought to use what he viewed as the superior political and moral position of his own revolutionary movement as a trump card to defeat a well-armed adversary. These ideas were originally generated during his early years as a revolutionary in the 1920s and 1930s, and continued to influence his recommendations in the wars against the French (1946-1954) and the United States (1959-1965).

इस शहर में लिंकन के पुराने परिचितों में से किसी ने भी डॉ. स्मिथ या किसी अन्य द्वारा उनके ईसाई धर्म में परिवर्तन के बारे में कभी नहीं सुना था। उनकी मृत्यु से पहले यहाँ न तो कभी इसका सुझाव दिया गया था और न ही इसके बारे में सोचा गया था... मैंने उन्हें डॉ. स्मिथ की नास्तिकता पर लिखी गई किताब को एक सेकंड के लिए भी पढ़ते हुए नहीं देखा। उन्होंने उसे हमारी मेज पर पटक दिया - मान उस पर थूक दिया हो - और जहाँ तक मुझे पता है, उसे कभी नहीं खोला।

No one of Lincoln's old acquaintances in this city ever heard of his conversion to Christianity by Dr. Smith or anyone else. It was never suggested nor thought of here until after his death.... I never saw him read a second of time in Dr. Smith's book on Infidelity. He threw at down upon our table - spit upon it as it were - and never opened it to my knowledge.

कई नास्तिकों ने बाइबिल को नष्ट करने की धमकियां दी हैं या भविष्यवाणियां की हैं। उन संशयवादियों के नाम आज कितने लोग जानते हैं? लेकिन मूसा, यशायाह, लूक और पौलुस के नाम से हर कोई वाकिफ है

Many unbelievers have threatened or prophesied the destruction of the Bible. Few people know the names of the skeptics. Everyone knows the names of Moses and Isaiah and Luke and Paul.

मानव व्यवहार को अचानक और चौंकाने वाले तरीकों से बदलने में शब्दों की जो ताकत होती है, उसका शायद दुनिया के इतिहास में सबसे बेहतरीन उदाहरण इस्लाम का उदय है

The rise of Islam offers perhaps the most impressive example in world history of the power of words to alter human behavior in sudden, surprising ways.

जिस तरह तुम खुद ढल जाते हो, वैसे ही तुम्हारे साम्राज्य भी ढल जाते हैं, और हर हुकूमत का एक दिन अंत होना तय है

As yourselves your empires fall, and every kingdom hath a grave.

अमेरिकी प्रयोग कोई धर्मतंत्र नहीं है और न ही यह किसी आधिकारिक धर्म की स्थापना करता है, लेकिन संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका का स्वतंत्रता घोषणा-पत्र और संविधान सरकार और मनुष्य की प्रकृति के ईसाई दृष्टिकोण पर आधारित हैं। अगली सहस्राब्दी की चुनौती अपने ईसाई दृष्टिकोण को पुनर्जीवित करके इस अमेरिकी प्रयोग को सुरक्षित रखने की होगी

The American experiment is not a theocracy and does not establish an official religion, but the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States are rooted in a Christian perspective of the nature of government and the nature of man. The challenge of the next millennium will be to preserve the American experiment by restoring its Christian perspective.

हमारे समाज में इंटरनेट बहुत तेज़ रफ़्तार से बढ़ा है। यह दुनिया के इतिहास की सबसे तेज़ संचार तकनीक है। यह 1995 में लगभग ठप पड़े होने की स्थिति से महज़ पाँच साल के भीतर अकेले संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका में 8,00,00,000 (अस्सी मिलियन) उपयोगकर्ताओं तक पहुँच गई। इतनी तेज़ गति से कोई चीज़ नहीं बढ़ी।

The internet has grown so tremendously fast in our society. It is the fastest communications technology in the history of the world. (It) grew from almost a dead stop in 1995 to having 80 million users in the United States alone in five years. Nothing has grown that fast.

मेरे मन में कोई संदेह नहीं है। यदि हत्या न हुई होती, तो शायद हम क्यूबा के साथ सामान्य संबंधों की ओर बढ़ने वाली वार्ताओं की शुरुआत कर चुके होते।

There is no doubt in my mind. If there had been no assassination, we probably would have moved into negotiations leading to a normalisation of relations with Cuba.

मुझे नहीं लगता कि संयुक्त राष्ट्र में उनका कोई भी ऐसा कदम रहा हो जिसकी पहले से विदेश विभाग के अधिकारियों द्वारा जाँच न की गई हो, जिसे मंजूरी न दी गई हो और जिसके लिए अधिकृत न किया गया हो। यह बात जरूर है कि वे दुनिया भर में काफी घूमीं और अपने विशाल स्लम प्रोजेक्ट के उन हिस्सों को ढूँढ निकाला जिनकी मरम्मत की जरूरत थी। लेकिन मुझे नहीं लगता कि मुख्य बात यह थी। असल बात तो यह थी कि आखिर वे फ्रेंकलिन रूज़वेल्ट की याद दिलाती थीं, जिनका तब तक बहुत पहले निधन हो चुका था, और इसी वजह से उनका एक खास रुतबा और प्रभाव था।

I don't think she ever had a single initiative at the United Nations that was not previously [vetted] by the people at the State Department, approved of, and authorized. She did manage to get around the world an awful lot, and find other parts of her vast slum project that needed repair. But I don't think that that was the main point. The main point was that she, after all, connoted Franklin Roosevelt, who by then was long dead, and had a certain prestige and power on that account.

क्या आप इस बात को महसूस करते हैं कि इस समय हमारे पास बैरी गोल्डवाटर हैं जो 'मोरल मेजॉरिटी' के खिलाफ लड़ रहे हैं, और 'द न्यू यॉर्क टाइम्स' गोल्डवाटर का समर्थन कर रहा है? समय बदल गया है।

Do you realize that at the moment we have Barry Goldwater fighting the Moral Majority, with The New York Times rooting for Goldwater? Times have changed.

हमारी नौसेना का एक बहुत बड़ा हिस्सा डूब चुका था। और हम बिना किसी देर के युद्ध में कूद पड़े। संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका के जापानी-अमेरिकी नागरिकों को नजरबंद किए जाने पर आज पीछे मुड़कर देखने पर हमें जो दुख होता है, मैं भी उस दुख में शामिल हूँ। वह हमारा सबसे अच्छा समय नहीं था। लेकिन उस समय सुप्रीम कोर्ट के सामने यह मामला आया था, और उसने इसे सही ठहराया था तथा बरकरार रखा था।

Our Navy was very largely sunk. And we were at war in no time at all. I share, in retrospect, the distress we all share at the internment of the Japanese American citizens of the United States. It was not our finest hour. But the Supreme Court had it before it at the time, and justified it and upheld it.

मुझे लगता है कि जापानी नजरबंदी के बारे में याद रखने वाली सबसे महत्वपूर्ण बात है—वहाँ की परिस्थिति। हम पर हमला हुआ था। शायद रूजवेल्ट को इसकी उम्मीद थी—मुझे तो ऐसा ही लगता है। मुझे नहीं लगता कि उन्हें पर्ल हार्बर पर हमले की उम्मीद थी। मुझे लगता है कि उन्हें दक्षिण-पूर्वी एशिया पर हमले की उम्मीद थी। लेकिन पर्ल हार्बर पर हमला हो गया था।

I think the important thing to remember about the Japanese internment is the situation. We had been attacked. Maybe Roosevelt expected it - I rather think he did. I don't think he expected an attack on Pearl Harbor. I think he expected an attack on Southeast Asia. But we were attacked at Pearl Harbor

यह बात सुनने में बहुत अजीब या घिसी-पििटी लग सकती है, लेकिन मैं ऐसा ही महसूस करता हूँ: संगीतकार बहुत लंबे समय से इस दुनिया में हैं। यह एक बहुत ही, बहुत ही पुराना पेशा है। आप 50 के दशक के छोटे बैंड्स के दौरे करने के तरीके को देखें, तो वह आज के छोटे बैंड्स के दौरे करने के तरीके जैसा ही है। यह एक लंबी परंपरा रही है, और जब आप किसी ऐसे व्यक्ति से मिलते हैं जो बहुत लंबे समय से यह काम कर रहा है, तो आपके मन उनके लिए अगाध सम्मान होना चाहिए।

This is going to sound really corny, but it's the way I feel: Musicians have been around for a really long time. It's a really, really old job. When you look at the way that a small band toured back in the '50s, it's similar to the way that a small band tours now. It's been this long tradition, and when you meet somebody who has been doing this for a really long time, you have to have tremendous respect for them.

प्रत्येक टाइपफेस इतिहास का एक हिस्सा है, जो एक मोज़ेक के उस टुकड़े की तरह है जो मानव संचार के विकास को दर्शाता है। प्रत्येक टाइपफेस उसे बनाने वाले व्यक्ति का एक दृश्य दस्तावेज भी है - एक डिजाइनर के रूप में उसका कौशल, एक कलाकार के रूप में उसका दर्शन, और... प्रत्येक अक्षर के बारीक विवरण और उससे बनने वाले शब्दों या पंक्तियों के प्रति उसकी समझ।

Each typeface is a piece of history, like a chip in a mosaic that depicts the development of human communication. Each typeface is also a visual record of the person who created it - his skill as a designer, his philosophy as an artist, his feeling for... the details of each letter and the resulting impressions of an alphabet or a text line.
