"The thing which doesn't kill us builds us up."
It is a fact that struggling with life's problems makes us stronger.

"Quod nos non necat nos munit"
Since, (to the extent that), we are not dead we are strengthened.
All other translations below qualify, this is literal only.
Quod = and, because, since, whereas, but, the point that, as far as, the fact that, now, to the extent that
nos = we, us
non = not
necat = death, dead, dying
nos = we, us
munit = fortifications, "are fortified", strengthened, "made stronger", etc.

Litterally: what does not kill us protects us (or: gives us strength). I am sure you will know an english expression that has the same meaning..
