Please translate 'classical proverb'
Elizabeth von Arnim's first novel, The Benefactress is set in Germany, and was published in 1901. She describes 'Unkraut vergeht nicht' as an 'eminently consolatory proverb', but I can't make any sense out of it with Google translate or Collins dictionary.

Can anyone help, please?
