Pain is weakness leaving the body 

"Pain is weakness leaving the body"

The above is a piece of propaganda used by the US Marine Recruiting office to get more people to join the marines. Its also figuratively true, and very effective in their commercials.
Pain is weakness leaving the body

If you punch a tree over and over again every day for a few years your hand wont be broken (unless you punched TOO hard). Instead, it will be toughed, and calloused, and you will be able to take far more pain.

When a problem in life is emotionally painful you are emotionally scarred. But if you learn from it, the emotional scars will scab over and you will be a strong, more experienced and mature person because of it. When this occurs, as long as your emotional pain does not destroy you, it will eventually make you strong if you allow it too.

If you run 15 miles daily for a year, your body will be in a lot of pain, especially the first month or two. By the end of the year, your muscles would be so broken down and rebuilt you would be very strong, provided you had enough nutrients, water, and rest during the year. If you tried to do the same with 50 miles a day, you would end up dead.

Pain truly is weakness leaving the body, provided that the pain inflicted is small enough that you can handle it and grow from it, emotionally or physically.

I'm leaving the board forever 

Very common message posted to messageboards.

Normally posted by a disgruntled user when upset and wanting attention.

While someone who posts such a message will sometimes mean it and will never again go to that board after posting such a message, usually once they calm down, they'll come back and will be posting as though they never posted it.

On some messageboards, such messages are so common and/or posted by certain users so much that people have learned to automatically ignore them.
I logged in this morning to find yet another I'm leaving the board forever message. The guy that posted it has already posted ten of them and returned less then twenty four hours after each time.
commonly used in yorkshire, meaning to play or join in an activity.

Leaving Neverland 

"Leaving Neverland" is a 2019 "documentary" which attempts to cover the alleged "abuse" by Michael Jackson on Wade Robson and James Safechuck, two men who defended the King Of Pop during cases. The film is an obvious form of defamation, but as Michael Jackson is no longer alive, it is not seen that way. #mjinnocent
"Did you know Michael Jackson was a pedophile?"
"...What did you do, watch 'Leaving Neverland'?

Leaving No Stone Unturned

Literally, it means you have turned over and looked beneath every possible stone. Idiomatically, it means you've looked everywhere you could and have done everything you could to try to solve some problem.
Dev: Didn't you find my book yet?
Ted: Believe me, I've left no stone unturned and did't find it.

("Leaving No Stone Unturned" example)
