You can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit

It is impossible for a person to create something good out of something that is, by its very nature, bad.

(coming out of a movie theater)
Guy 1: That was the worst movie ever, man.
Guy 2: I know! But! Leonardo DiCaprio was the best out of them, though. His acting blew everyone else's right out of the water! Too bad everything else sucked.
Guy 1: Oh, well. You can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit.

Your mouth is writing checks your ass can't cash

"Your mouth is writing checks your ass can't cash," is something TV Dr. Phil McGraw's father said to him as a boy when he would voice wild plans or notions. It means that talk is cheap relative to performance, or that promising something and delivering on it are two different things. A phrase similar in meaning is "Money talks, bullshit walks."

.

"I'm going to get a job selling fuzzy dice door-to-door. I'll be rich!"

"Boy, your mouth is writing checks your ass can't cash."

You can't have your cake and eat it too

An expression basically meaning that you can only have it so good, and you can't have it all.

An good example is if a situation is bittersweet.

Sara was sad that the guy whom had gotten very close to her in the past 3 years which she held a secret fondness for developed an interest in her best friend, Clare. In conversation with Clare, Sara explained the situation, to which Clare responded.

"You can't have your cake and eat it too."

Alex: what

Sean: One's a sick duck, I can't remember how it ends, but your mothers a whore.
