It seems quite a literal translation:

Tutti quelli che hanno sperato di indebolirmi colpendomi in casa sappiano che per quanto la goccia possa sperare di scavare la pietra, la pietra rimane pietra e la goccia è solo acqua.

which does not make any sense even in Italian. Especially considering that a drop of water in the end does erode a rock ("gutta cavat lapidem" in Latin).
