I hate "you can't have your cake and eat it too." Partially because I find the basic sentiment annoying, but mostly because 1. eating cake is the whole point of having cake--what are you going to do with it if you don't eat it? enshrine it on an altar? 2. I can't imagine a more complete way of "having" anything than by eating and digesting it. After you've eaten that cake, it is yours, in every sense of the word--nobody can steal it from you, and (hopefully) nobody wants to.
