About this Quote

King Hussein I of Jordan, understood for his efforts to modernize Jordan and for his role as a peacemaker in the Middle East, encapsulates with this quote an extensive reflection on legacy and the human undertaking for significance. The quote speaks with a universal aspiration: the desire to be kept in mind not always for plentiful product accomplishments, however for one's efforts and intentions.

The expression "All what we wish for is that a day will come" expresses a yearning for a future recognition and understanding of one's life work. It implies a modest approval that accomplishments during one's lifetime may not be totally appreciated until after one's departure. This perspective positions value not on instant benefits or distinctions, but on the long-lasting impact of one's efforts and their subsequent acknowledgment by future generations.

When King Hussein states "when we have all gone", he acknowledges the inescapable passage of time and the mortality shared by all. This more highlights the significance of leaving a legacy that speaks to one's character and contributions, rather than wealth or power.

The mention of "this man has attempted, and his family attempted" underscores the significance he puts on effort and perseverance. Rather of concentrating on successful results, it is the endeavor and determination, both separately and jointly as a household, that he deems deserving of commendation. This perspective is reflective of a more comprehensive philosophical outlook that values the procedure of striving towards ideals and objectives, despite the supreme outcome.

Finally, "This is all there is to look for in this world", encapsulates a belief that fulfillment and purpose in life are stemmed from aiming towards significant contributions and belonging to a continuum of favorable human efforts. King Hussein highlights the essence of what many intend to accomplish: leaving a tradition defined by earnest efforts to make a difference, consequently achieving moral and spiritual fulfillment.
