‐‐ Tony La Russa
You can't manage Wall Street. Wall Street has its own viewpoints on everything. I have always believed, if you manage your business correctly, Wall Street will take care of itself.
‐‐ Ross Levinsohn
You can't manufacture a career as an actor because you aren't in control of what projects come to you, unless you are No. 1, two, three or four in the world.
‐‐ David Wenham
You can't manufacture inspiration, so a lot of it is still a waiting game for me. There's still a lot of mystery to songwriting. I don't have a method that I can go back to - they either come or they don't.
‐‐ Conor Oberst
You can't master time, but you have to work your hardest to manage it.
‐‐ Chuck D

‐‐ Tyra Banks
You can't move mountains by whispering at them.
‐‐ Pink
You can't move so fast that you try to change the mores faster than people can accept it. That doesn't mean you do nothing, but it means that you do the things that need to be done according to priority.
‐‐ Eleanor Roosevelt
You can't name the inventor of the camera. The 19th-century invention was chemical: the fixative.
‐‐ David Hockney
You can't negotiate in public. People won't make concessions in public. They will do that in private. Like sausage making, you have to do it behind closed doors.
‐‐ Jonathan Powell
You can't negotiate with a zombie. They have only one impulse - that's to eat us or our brains.
‐‐ Stephen Graham Jones
You can't, no matter what anyone says, build a movie around someone.
‐‐ Campbell Scott
You can't not approve a merger because you don't like the companies' politics. That's just not right.

You can't not have feelings about country clubs, whichever side you're on.

‐‐ Susan Cain
You can't pick up a golf club if your thumb hurts.
‐‐ Jason Day
You can't pick up the telephone and say, 'Connect me with someone else who has a kid with leukemia.'

‐‐ Gwen Stefani
You can't plan everything - if I did a performance exactly how I rehearsed it, it would be so boring.
‐‐ Adam Lambert
You can't plan for people to like your movies. I knew that people were not going to run in droves to the theater for the 'In the Valley of Elah.' I knew they might not want to see it, but I still had to the movie; I felt very strongly about it. Wanting to keep telling a good story is what you want to do, a compelling story.
‐‐ Paul Haggis
You can't plan for the future, because some guy's going to land in a spaceship with three heads and a big beak and take over everything.
‐‐ Paul Kantner
You can't plan to write a great song. It just happens to you. It drops in your lap. It's the same thing with a woman.

‐‐ Jamie Redknapp

‐‐ Ben Gibbard
You can't please everybody all the time, but you can please a majority.
‐‐ Chick Hearn
You can't please everybody. I give up. I'm not trying to. I don't care. Leave me alone with that.
‐‐ Estelle
You can't please everybody. You'd be crazy if you're trying to. So take some time out to do some things for yourself.
‐‐ Nas
You can't please everyone, and trying to is the kiss of death. I don't care about Wayne Newton's demographics. When I do, I'll know that it's time to quit.
‐‐ Criss Angel
You can't please everyone, and you can't make everyone like you.
‐‐ Katie Couric
You can't please everyone, and you have to trust your instincts, and you have to do your work and throw yourself in there and trust your instincts, and just trust that you're doing a good job that I can be proud of as well.
‐‐ Matt Ryan
