English term or phrase: out of adversity can come great opportunity
Do you guys have any expression equivalente to "out of adversity can come great opportunity"?

Translating literally works ok, but I would like to find one of thos "sayings" that is equivalent...

The whole line is: Of course, we must be prudent in how we spend our dollars, but out of adversity can come great opportunity.

agree  Tomás Cano Binder, BA, CT: Sí, me parece bien. Sobre todo porque lo que se pide es algo distinto a la traducción literal.

Explanation:
En este caso yo lo traduciria literalmente. O al menos dejarlo tan cercano a la traduccion literal. No suena a algo coloquial como para traducirlo con dichos equivalentes.
