success before finesse

In the hoop-jumping contest of life, proven academic performance is required before the art of social manipulation becomes relevant. In other words, a massive GPA gets you a seat at the table; Instagram and snatch-chat alone---just put your dumb-ass on the menu.
Don't be a dumb-ass; 'success before finesse' is an unbreakable law of the universe.

Before Ze Germans Get here

(Idiom) You are working too slow.

The base is rather obviously World War Two, and the source is southern Britain, flooded by fleeing French with a Ze accent. The term was used by British towards French to make them work faster so there was a hope of liberation.
Come on Pierre, before ze germans get here we need that milk crate!

pearls before swine

An expression of Biblical origin.

As mentioned above, comes from the Biblical injunction not to "cast your pearls before swine." Pearls, of course, are considered to be things of great value, and swine (pigs) are often considered to be lowly animals.

Thus, the phrase translates as "Don't waste something valuable by giving it to someone who doesn't/can't appreciate it." This can apply to words/thoughts/wisdom as well as physical objects, and the expression is frequently used in a condescending fashion.

As for the comic, the title might ironically mean that Pig actually possesses the higher moral qualities that Rat is incapable of appreciating -- or even more ironically, that the things the artist is trying to communicate in the strip will be lost on the general public reading it.
e.g.
"I read that beautiful Shakespearean sonnet to her, but it was pearls before swine to such an illiterate person."
