if you haven't got it; a no is a no (VLZ_58); if it is a no, let it be so (VLZ_58); if it's not available or obtainable, it shouldn't be debatable (VLZ_58); where nothing is, nothing can be had; you just haven't got it; from nothing comes nothing (A111981); a man cannot give what he hasn't got (used when a person makes it up with the lack (and absence) of a certain (necessary) thing); it's no use crying for the moon (contrast: all's out is good for prisoners but naught for the eyes. if you always say "no", you'll never be married); if there isn't any, we must do without; when there's nothing you have and nothing comes out, there's nothing to blame for and argue about |
