: hello !! me again!!
: I'm still french so there's still a proverb which I dont understand, could some native speakers give me a hint : does it mean something like "don't go too far " or "don't exagerate"?

Don't go too far. Don't be so overzealous that you get rid of something good or precious along with the bad.
