Is there a proverb which fits the following situation:
John and Anderson (while walking):
John: Yahoo! $100! (John exclaimed when he saw $100 on road)
Anderson took the dollars and puts them into his pocket.
Reflection: John just exclaimed when he saw $100 on a road but didn't try to take that one hundred dollars. Anderson was smart, as when he saw John exclaiming, he took those dollars into his pocket. Resultantly, John repents over his foolish excitement.
My question is that, is there a proverb for such situations?
EDIT: when I asked my friend, he suggested me the following saying:
"Some feel the rain others just get wet."
