Or something? More seriously, relevant English idioms:

- A stitch in time saves nine;

- Something worth doing's worth doing well;

- If you want it done right, do it yourself;

and surely more. I'm certain there's a farming-analogy one about fixing something sooner rather than later, but it's escaped me.
