Good coming from bad [duplicate]

Someone said a word, or saying, to me that I didn't know the meaning, so I looked it up.

I cannot remember what it was, but the meaning was:

"Something good comes from something that was bad"

For example, I crashed my car into a beautiful woman's car and we then dated.

Please can someone tell me the word I'm looking for. I think it is two words, each with two syllable's.

Thanks for any help anyone can give.

Solution 1:

Silver lining describes a choice, hidden treasure that looms inside a cloud of bad weather.

something good that can be found in a bad situation (MW)

Usually, the cloud outweighs the silver, but, hey, be thankful for small favors. Dating your victim would be a silver lining to the cloud of the crash.

Also, a diamond in the rough means the item is already a jewel, but needs some crafting to sparkle.

Solution 2:

Maybe you're referring to—

Every cloud has a silver lining.

Granted, it's not two words with two syllables each, but maybe something good will come out of it even if it's a bad suggestion.

Proverb—You can derive some benefit from every bad thing that happens to you; there is something good even in an unpleasant situation.
