Friday Phrase 4

Do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining? That no matter how pime it seems, the sun is always shining behind the clouds - somewhere? In Finnish we would say 'Ei niin pahaa jottei jotain hyvääkin' which sõnasõnaliselt means 'nothing is so bad that there isn't something good as well (in it)'. In Estonia people say that 'iga pilve on hõbe vooderdus'. Aurinko may be behind the clouds, but it still is.
