Hamlet is saying that Ophelia is a liar and betrays people. If she goes to the nunnery to become a nun then she can't have children...therefore she can't breed liars and sinners.

Hamlet was betrayed by his mother & uncle. The quote reflects this sense of betrayal by family - why would Ophelia want to give rise to a family that whill hurt their own?

in all risk not, yet listed right here are some stable ones i chanced on finding: 2 % of the persons think of; 3 % of the persons think of they think of; and ninety-5 % of the persons could particularly than die than think of. GEORGE BERNARD SHAW Deeply earnest and considerate human beings stand on shaky footing with the conventional public. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Judging via what I even have discovered approximately women and adult men persons, i'm confident that lots extra idealistic aspiration exists than is ever obtrusive. purely because of the fact the rivers we see are much less distinctive than the underground streams, so the idealism that's seen is minor whilst in comparison with what women and adult men persons carry of their hearts, unreleased or scarcely released. Mankind is waiting and yearning for people who can accomplish the job of untying what's knotted and bringing the underground waters to the floor. ~Albert Schweitzer No situation would nicely be solved from a similar point of information that created it.

If Ophelia married Hamlet & had a son, the son would eventually become a king. Hamlet's "old stock" of kings are sinners, who cause thousands of deaths in their wars over useless plots of land (symbollically, graveyards). This is part of a larger motif equating birth and death.
