Catch phrase/idiom/slang for every bad thing happens for a good reason

Question

Is there any catch-phrase/idiom/slang I can use to express that every bad thing happens for a good reason? (or that bad things could lead to good consequences eventually)?

Say it in Latin, *omnia causa fiunt*. – Mari-Lou A Apr 01 '17 at 18:43 — Mari-Lou A, Apr 01 '17 at 18:43

A blessing in disguise conveys the idea that an initial negative fact or experience may actually result in something positive:

something that seems bad or unlucky at first, but results in something good happening later: Losing that job was a blessing in disguise really.
