The origin of the proverb "better safe than sorry" is believed to come from 18th-century English, though its exact source is unclear. This saying emphasizes that it is wiser to be cautious, even if it seems unnecessary at the time, rather than taking risks that could lead to more serious consequences. It serves as a reminder that avoiding harm through careful actions is often better than dealing with the aftermath of mistakes or oversights.
