The saying is


" what doesn't kill me only makes me stronger "

I am getting confused by other translation sites because the word "doesn't" will not come up in the dictionary. Any help to solve my problem is greatly appreciated :D

Thank you !

Someone on another website said


It's been years since I took Sanskrit, but here's my attempt:
यत्त्वंनघातयतित्वमाप्याययति।
Yat tvaṁ ghātayati tvam āpyāyayati.

Yat (pron.): what, that which (nom.)
Tvam (pron.): you (acc.)
Na (adv.): not
Ghātayati (verb): cause to be killed (pres. Ind. 3 sg.)
Tvam (pron.): you (acc.)
āpyāyayati (verb): cause to be strong (pres. Ind. 3 sg.)
