Best Answer

It is a quotation from Shakespeare's play King Lear, Act 1 Scene 1. Lear asks his daughter Cordelia what she is prepared to say in order to be entitled to a share in the kingdom; she says "Nothing." Lear warns her "Nothing will come of nothing", or basically, if you want something, you should be prepared to give something for it.
