A proverb a day to brighten the day!

550a. Wiederholtes Schmelzen wandelt Eisen nicht in Gold um.

550b. Repeated melting does not convert iron into gold.

Hardships and problems make
the noble people nobler,
the strong people stronger and
the tolerant people more tolerant.

But the regular people and baser things
get destroyed by hardships and tests of time.

The same polishing which adds glitter to a diamond
will make the piece of charcoal crumble into dust.

footnotes:
Wiederholtes = Repeated
Schmelzen = melting
nicht = does not
wandelt = convert
Eisen = iron
in Gold um = into gold
