French translation:Tout vient à point à qui sait attendre
Explanation:
J'ai trouvé un proverbe similaire "The soup is never eaten as hot as it is cooked" dont le sens semble un peu différent de ce qui est proposé en discussion.

As my father used to say, "Don't forget, the soup is never eaten as hot as it is cooked."
In case you're wondering, that last point is a Hungarian proverb meaning "be patient."

The soup is never eaten as hot as it's cooked. Meaning, life is never as bad as it seems at the moment. Cool off and it will work out.
