Il ne faut pas devancer l'iguane dans l'eau
Don't go into the water before the iguana
My favorite proverb so far. Folks here have tons of 'em, for all occasions. This one means “don't put the cart before the horse” (which they also say (but in french)) but sounds far cooler. It comes from when you're, you know, trying to catch an iguana, because if it falls into the water it'll stay there without moving and you can catch it. But if you go in first, it won't follow you in and you'll never be able to get it. Just something to keep in mind next time you go iguana hunting.
