All cannot do all Literature Horace says, "Non omnia possumus omnes." German proverb, "Ein jeder kann nicht alles." All are not equally clever. Or rather, "Be not surprised that I cannot do what you can do, for we are not all exactly alike." Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
Cannot but Tips from 1870 1: Usage: Can but, Cannot but. These expressions are sometimes confounded. "If I perish, I can but perish," means "I can only perish," or "I can do no more than perish." "I cannot but speak of the things I have heard" means that I am under a moral necessity to speak of these things. The past tense forms could but and could not but should be, in like manner, discriminated.
2: Usage: Cannot by no means. This double negative should be avoided. "I cannot by no means permit you to go." Say, "I cannot possibly," or "I cannot, under any consideration, permit you to go." Source: Slips of Speech.
