a stitch in time saves nine
01
used to imply that it is better to address a problem or make a small repair early on, rather than waiting and allowing the problem to become more serious and difficult to fix later
Example
My dentist always reminds me that a stitch in time saves nine when it comes to dental care - taking care of a small cavity now can prevent a much more serious problem later on.
