Hi theeminenshow!

Your quote is in ancient Greek (as you most probably already know) so, roughly translated, you got: It is essential that men struggle; Man cannot but struggle.

Billberg, I know I may have done something wrong so I would appreciate the help.

This sounds like Euripedes, Hippolytus

θάρσει, τέκνον, καὶ μὴ χαλεπῶς
μετάβαλλε δέμας:
ῥᾷον δὲ νόσον μετά θ' ἡσυχίας
καὶ γενναίου λήματος οἴσεις·
μοχθεῖν δὲ βροτοῖσιν ἀνάγκη.

Translating as:

Courage, my child! Do not shift your body so roughly.
You will bear up under your ailment more easily
with calmness and nobility of mind.
Mortals must endure trouble.

In your case:

You must endure trouble.
