"John Milton's masque (dramatic entertainment) 'Comus' (1634) gave rise to the current proverb with the lines, 'Was I deceiv'd, or did a sable cloud/ Turn forth her silver lining on the night?' Charles Dickens, in his novel 'Bleak House' (1852), recalled the lines with 'I turn my silver lining outward like Milton's cloud,' and the American impresario Phineas T. Barnum first recorded the wording of the modern saying in 'Struggles and Triumphs' (1869) with 'Every cloud,' says the proverb, 'has a silver lining.'"
Thus, Phineas T. Barnum, in 1869, was the first to write the proverb that is said today, but the concept behind it dates back to John Milton's masque in 1634.

Proverb - every cloud has a silver lining?
I'm assuming that what you're asking is what does the proverb mean. The reference to "cloud" is a metaphor for a problem. The silver lining refers to a potential opportunity to solve the problem. For example, all inventions are the result of a problem that needed to be solved. Therefore, from living in the dark, someone invented candles. Someone else invented the oil lamp; then Edison invented the light bulb. etc. Thus we go from a perceived problem onward to a solution which we never would have had if there had not been a problem in the first place.
