I looked it up (because neither me nor hubby--de vieille souche--recognized

 On ne saurait faire boire un âne qui n’a pas soif.

Donkeys being noted for their obstinacy.

Not *quite* the same; but after all, we cowboys can't ride no donkey
into the sunset.

(A sexist variation: You can lead a girl to Vassar but you can't make
her think.)
