I would rather stop too soon than too late.

I would rather stop too soon than too late....Luc Besson

  The quotes, "I would rather stop too soon than too late" does not mean to stop all things immediately. Instead, it means prevention is better than cure. Just not to do some bad deeds. It is better to be safe than sorry....
