Nothing comes from nothing is a philosophical expression often stated in its Latin form: ex nihilo nihil fit ; belonging to the philosophical portion of the Hindu scriptures, this idea is expressed as - "How can Non-existence come from Existence? Existence alone existed in the beginning". Today, the idea is loosely associated with the laws of conservation of mass and energy.

Literally, it says: "I bring nothing out of nowhere". It is phrased very poorly - this would never have been used by native Latin speakers.

"ex nihilo nihil fit" is a better phrase
