You will have to translate. For example, I don't get "iuvabit".

The phrase is from Virgil and means:
"The day will come when even this ordeal will be a sweet thing to remember.”

The exact citation is the Aeneid, Book I, line 203.

Another translation is:
"it may be that in the future you will be helped by remembering the past" (forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit).
