The sentence that i am translating is the following:

Human Life gains luster and strength only when it is polished and tempered.
Thus, if i am correct, the sentence should look like this in japanese grammar:
Human-life luster and strength gain
-when polished and tempered.
Correct?

?
Not quite, but why don't we start with "I go to the store" level of sentences until you get kana down.
