You buy land, you buy stones, you buy meat, you buy bones
You can catch more flies than vinegar
You cannot burn the candles at both ends
You cannot get blood from a stone
You cannot have it both ways
You cannot loose what you never had
You cannot make an omelet without breaking eggs
You cannot sell the cow and drink the milk
You cannot shift an old tree without it dying
You can take a horse to the water, but you can´t make him drink
You can’t always get what you want
You can´t fit round peg in a square hole
You can´t have your cake and eat it
You can’t judge a book by its cover.
You can´t please everyone
You can´t squeeze blood from a turnip
You can´t teach an old dog new tricks
You can´t tell a book by its cover
You can´t win them all
You don´t get something for nothing
You must grin and bear it
You must lose a fly to catch a trout
You never know what you can do till you try
You scratch my back and I´ll scratch yours
you’ve made your bed now lie in it
You win a few, you lose a few
