Lo que no me destroza me fortalece.


Explanation:
I totally agree with my colleague Francesco D'Alessandro and believe he should be awarded the kudos for his answer. All I am doing is offering a possible translation to his phrase.

destroy-destruir,, asolar, arrasar, demoler, arruinar, destrozar, matar, quitar la vida (life), acabar con (reputation, confidence), decepcionar (dissapoint).

Best Regards,

Lo que [no] me destruye me fortalece


Explanation:
Or ´´lo que no me (te) mata me (te) hace más fuerte´´ (this is the saying in Spanish); I agree with the colleagues above that the ´´no´´ is missing, but that needs to be checked out by the translator in order to know for sure that the intention is not what it says it is (...which is rather hard to imagine: how what destroys you make you stronger?)

Creo que la mejor solución es la de Camara


Explanation:
Es cierto lo que dice Francesco, y también lo que acotó Bertha sobre que debemos traducirlo como está.

Pero, en este caso, se podría salvar con la solución que propone Camara.

Saludos!
