You can't climb up to the second floor without a ladder. When you set your aim too high and don't fulfill it, then your enthusiasm turns to bitterness. Try for a goal that's reasonable, and then gradually raise it.
‐‐ Emil Zatopek
You can't come away with this cosmic perspective thinking that you are better than others and want to fight. That's why you'll never have astrophysicists leading nations into war.
‐‐ Neil deGrasse Tyson
You can't come forward against the world's most powerful intelligence agencies and be completely free from risk.
‐‐ Edward Snowden
You can't come out of drama school and think, 'It's all going to be amazing.' You have to expect to work in a bar for at least five years and be a waitress for maybe two!

‐‐ Lamar Hunt
You can't compare an apple to an orange. It will cause a lot of self-esteem issues.
‐‐ Craig Sheffer
You can't compete with hip-hop. That doesn't mean I don't want to be as big as a rap star. I do - I'm always competitive. But there's this weird perception of me as someone who's sitting around plotting like a devil. It's not like that.
‐‐ Brandon Flowers
You can't compete with Walmart. But you can have smaller businesses that are successful.

You can't complain about your dressing room or you'll look like Celine Dion.
‐‐ Adele
You can't completely control the sport - Tiger Woods comes close. The test is against yourself and nature's own way. I find golf a particularly good metaphor for this story.
‐‐ Robert Redford
You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.

‐‐ Steve Jobs
You can't connect with something you're not passionate about.
‐‐ Gemma Arterton
You can't conserve what you haven't got.
‐‐ Marjory Stoneman Douglas
You can't consider a president weak because he will have a Congress that Mexican voters have wanted to be co-responsible in the decisions to be taken... It will be through the leadership that I will exercise that we will be able to build the agreements in Congress.
‐‐ Enrique Pena Nieto
You can't continue to have higher education tuition grow at a multiple of the rate of inflation.

‐‐ Helen Mirren
You can't control how you are perceived, and you are a fool if you waste any energy trying to do so. Vanity will get you nowhere.
‐‐ Dave Blood
You can't control it once you turn it into the label, so there's the expectation that it'll leak a week before the album comes out. That's the world we live in.
‐‐ Lupe Fiasco
You can't control people. You must understand them. You have to know where they're coming from, their beliefs and values, what turns them off, what they're against.
‐‐ Hayden Fry
You can't control the fact that you are born a white man or born into wealth. When people say, 'Check your privilege,' they're saying, 'Acknowledge how these factors helped you move through life.' They're not saying apologize for it.
‐‐ Roxane Gay
You can't control the paparazzi. But if you go to Coachella you're going to get photographed. Whereas if you're at home, walking down the street you probably won't. It's something I've learnt to navigate my way around but I try to keep my private life private.
‐‐ Ashley Greene
You can't control the quality of projects that are coming to you, so if you get several in a row that are quality, you take them.

‐‐ Laura Prepon
You can't control your mind. Why would you want to?

‐‐ Sophia Amoruso
You can't copy anybody and end with anything. If you copy, it means you're working without any real feeling.
‐‐ Billie Holiday
