    auf mehreren hochzeiten tanzen

    Subject

    auf mehreren hochzeiten tanzen

    Context/ examples
    Manche Menschen glauben, man könne nicht auf mehreren Hochzeiten gleichzeitig tanzen. Aber ich tue es. Mir genügte nicht das Studium allein, die Leitung eines Chores und andere musikalische Verpflichtungen.
    Comment
    "Auf mehreren Hochzeiten tanzen" is a proverb that means not to be committed to one single issue.

    @Goldie "wanting to have your cake and eat it" has a different meaning - it means wanting to have all the advantages (without any disadvantages). It would fit if you wanted to be everywhere at the same time AND have a quiet life...that would be wanting to have your cake and eat it. :-)
