Nothing will come of nothing
Pronunciation:
Play
“Nothing will come of nothing,” spoken by King Lear in William Shakespeare’s King Lear (Act 1, Scene 1, Line 99), means no reward can come from saying or doing nothing. Lear says this to Cordelia when she refuses to exaggerate her love, highlighting themes of pride, silence, and consequence.
E.g. “Nothing will come of nothing,” the speaker spat, as his advances met only her stony silence.
