Every cloud has a silver lining


Meaning:
People sometimes say that every cloud has a silver lining to comfort somebody who's having problems. They mean that it is always possible to get something positive out of a situation, no matter how unpleasant, difficult or even paiful it might seem.

Origin:
This idiom goes back to at least the first half of the 19th century, as it is used in The Atlas newspaper, printed in the 1840s. The idea for this phrase is that when things are looking dreary, there's always a brighter side; the comparison looks to be drawn from how dark clouds have a brighter side to them: their “silverlinings”.
