As long as we are doing Shakespeare answers: How about, 'What win I, if I gain the thing I seek? A dream, a breath, a froth of fleeting joy? Who buy a minutes mirth to wail a week or sells eternity to get a toy?'
Meaning: Look before you leap : } It was a good idea then and is a good idea now. Is this what I want and am I willing to pay the price - and do I know what the cost is really going to be? P.S. The best quotes are those you read in context and have enough personal meaning for you to memorize them.

it means you cannot have the the best of both options.
but to me it is a really dumb expression as what is the point of having cake if you cannot eat it.
just my opinion

If you eat your cake, you no longer have it.
