There have been many ways of saying this,
There is no rose without thorns, every rose has thorns.
The feelings this saying give me are nothing but bliss.
Many mantles have upon it a rose which adorns.

There is no beauty without pain, no good without bad.
Another example of this is that of yin and yang.
The rose is beautiful hiding the thorns that make some mad.
Instances of the bad in the good have been sang.

Life is not life without mistakes and there are a multitude.
No one can change the fact that life is imperfect and so are we.
Some mistakes seem so big that they become worse than rude.
There will never be a point in life that is not mistake free.

This came to me from a book a read forever ago Esperanza Rising and a song I like. Hope you guys like it.
