"لو كان بإمكاني الحصول على سطر في قرن من الآن ينسب لي مساهمة في تقدم السلام فسأكون سعيدًا بالتخلي عن كل شرف نلته في الحرب"

Simplified Meaning:
A famous person is saying they'd rather be remembered for making peace than for any awards or praise they received for fighting in a war. Imagine a soldier who has won many medals but wishes, instead, to be remembered for helping to stop fights and bring people together. In real life, think of Martin Luther King Jr. He led peaceful protests to help gain civil rights and is remembered more for his peace efforts than any conflict. This advice means that it's more valuable to try and make the world a calmer and better place. Instead of seeking fame or glory from conflict, focus on actions that bring harmony and understanding between people.
