Actually you can have your cake and eat it. What you can't do is eat your cake and have it :-P

My bad :)

Well, you got the point. In french, we'd say: "You can't both have butter and money for it" -- greedy butter sellers.

In Romanian, it's something like "you can't reconcile the lamb and the cabbage" (because the lamb eats the cabbage if they're together).

And in Hebrew it's "You can't eat the cake and leave it whole" or "you can't hold the rope from both edges".
