One Swallow Does Not a Summer Make

(one piece of evidence is not enough to prove something)

Hey, Rebecca. How was your tennis match the other day?

Great! I beat out Garcia and made the final play-offs. I've got the championship in the bag!

Hold on, there. I can understand your excitement, but remember that one swallow does not a summer make. The final outcome won't be known until the last game is played.

You're right. I know I shouldn't form my opinion based on a single victory, but I've got a good feeling about this tournament.

More power to you. I hope you don't end up by being disappointed.
