Quod me non perdit, id me fortiorem reddit.
This would be the most classical way of rendering it.

: 'Caedit', 'necat', and 'occidit' refer only to violent deaths; 'me armat' is an extremely rhetorical way of saying 'makes me stronger'. The Latin in your reference is Silver rather than Golden, and a bit tarnished into the bargain.
