niko-tina:
«¡Piensa antes de actuar!» (Pripensu antaŭ ol agi!)

Do you have any way of expressing that in English with a phrase?

Perhaps in German:
Zuerst das Gehirn einschalten. (Unue ŝaltu la cerbon)

niko-tina:(Pripensu antaŭ ol agi!)

Do you have any way of expressing that in English with a phrase?

Here's two possibilities: "Think before you act" and "Look before you leap".

There's a beautiful (archaic) Dutch phrase for that:
Bezint eer ge begint.

Think before you begin?
