Not the first time this has been asked:
It's an encouraging thought, but as with most other generalizations, it's not always true.
Some things that don't kill you make you weaker, especially psychologically weaker.
It's usually attributed to Nietzsche, but some say it comes from Goethe

The actual quote is "What doesn't kill you will make you stronger" and it was German philosopher Friedrich Nietzche

An idiot.
The same kind of person that would advocate exposing ourselves to toxins as a way to build up resistance to their carcinogenic properties. Hermes must be flipping in his grave.

Yeah that sort of thinking can lead you straight to your doom. It applies more to challenges, real ones, possible ones.
