Just wanted to share these German Redewendungen, which say the exact opposite.
Sachen gibt's, die gibt's gar nicht.
things exist.3SG.3SG REL.PL exist.3SG.3SG really not
'Things exist, that exist really not.'
Also paraphrased as:
Es gibt nichts, was es nicht gibt!
3SG.N exist.3SG nothing, REL.N 3SG.N not exist.3SG
'Nothing exists, that doesn't exist.'
Which I guess is closer to OP's idea.

3SDL avoids tautologies...
I'd say
h¼©f«f«©{ºK\

Archaic Vye: Utkyénk kryuga vkhphsra.
utkyén-k kryá-vga v=K-phsra
utkyén nothing -k ACC kryá essence -vga PRIV v= NEG K- IRR aphsrá begin
'let nothing without essence start' (
the semantics are a bit weird here; incidentally, also schwa is now e , so it's Archaic Vye now )
Kgáweq’: Tlo’ǫrąłrye’etl’k’okgrátsqgonog.

'[a thing] cannot stand in contradiction to reality'
