When you lose a leg, your arms the other gets stronger, but you’re not stronger. 

 

If yiu get hit by a bus and end up paralyzed, it doesn’t make you stronger. 

 

It’s a cute saying, but it’s a bit silly.

No, if you lose a leg or arm it will make you mentally stronger.

 

Same if you have to deal with a disability. It will make you mentally stronger.

Nonsense. If someone becomes disabled, it  may make them mentally stronger, but they could also plunge into depression. 

 

So someone gets Alzheimers, it makes them stronger mentally, got it.

 

Prostate cancer make you impotent, but that make you stronger, got it. 

 

The list is endless

Dealing with impotence would definitely make you mentally stronger. 

 

Also dealing with depression would make you mentally stronger if it doesn't kill you.

Sure, you’re right. A guy wrecks his bike and ends up a quadriplegic, but he can blink Morse code to his wife, he’s stronger because of the muscles in in his eyes. 

 

We agree, you were right along.

Yes  two better choices would be:

 

• Adage: This is a proverb or a concise statement that embodies a general truth or piece of advice.
• Aphorism: A tersely phrased statement of a truth or opinion; an adage.

Take better care of your inside health than your outside, because it's what makes the outside last longer. Learn to trust no one until they have proven themselves over time. Remember if it's going to be either you or them that takes the fall, it will be them.
