are there other sayings ~

[wml]

we'r doin some kind of rhetoric practise...we needs to write 2 tropes of how we feel after we challenge sth. difficulty and failed... my friend and I thought we should treasure the experience even if we failed... so we came up with one "I treasure my experience as a veteran treasure his scar from the war".. and we couldn't think of anything else

can anybody help to think of a saying ( trope)? thnx a lot

You read about somebody describing his experiences during the war. Is that close?

I'm so sorry I couldn't explain clearly..
actually I need a trope to describe it..... sry..

[RonBee]

Your saying (revised by me):

I treasure my experiences as a war veteran treasures his wounds.

Also (possibly):

I am sadder but wiser for having gone through it.

Is that the idea?

yes~
