Come away with nothing
Came away leaving no trace; ended without leaving any sign.
("The Scripture distinguished birds from beasts and fish: it is impossible to require two signs, because it has already been likened to fish; nor can we exempt it completely, because it has already been likened to beasts"—Chullin 27b; and similarly: "And he left a widow whose ketubah was nine hundred zuz, and he left a son and a daughter: the daughter takes one hundred zuz, which is a tenth of the estate, and the remaining nine hundred the widow takes, and the son comes away with nothing; surely we do not say that"—Responsa Meharif, section 16; and similarly: "But in that incident he did not come away with nothing. The memory of the deed did not leave his heart, and signs of sorrow remained on his face"—Agnon, Takhrikh shel Sipurim, 72)
