If/when someone has a purpose/why/reason of live, supports almost every adversity/how

It is a famous quote of Nietzsche. I readed it in German, and I interpret the 'wozu' and 'wie' as above.

As long as you have a purpose, you can bear anything in life

I like this translation because it's more palatable, and yet it doesn't stray far from the source.

The German should be "Wenn man ein wozu des lebens hat, ertragt man jedes wie" not "jeder wie".
