Literal: One stitch made on time prevents the need for nine stitches later.
Figurative: Take action promptly — small effort now prevents big problems later.
This 18th-century English proverb comes from sewing — if you mend a small tear immediately, it won't grow into a big one needing many stitches.
| Proverb | Meaning |
|---|---|
| A stitch in time saves nine | Timely action saves greater effort |
| Strike while the iron is hot | Act at the right moment |
| Procrastination is the thief of time | Delay wastes opportunity |
| Make hay while the sun shines | Use opportunities when available |
| Time and tide wait for none | Time doesn't pause for anyone |
The proverb is not literally about saving time — it's about doing things on time. The 'nine' refers to extra work, not time saved.
