el último que he oído fue ¨no hay mal que por bien no venga¨ (which would literally translate to ¨ there´s no bad thing that doesn´t happen for the best¨ or contextually as ¨all´s well that end well¨)

¿me podríais enseñar más?

gracias, salu2!!

When something bad happens there is always some good that comes of it is the phrase that I have heard. (a little more literal)

Have you seen the Phrasebook? It's located under the "More" tab at the top of this screen. There are thousands of phrases in there, such as:

The straw that broke the camel's back = Es la gota que rebasó el vaso

Like father like son = De tal palo, tal astilla
