“It's too late to start over, this is the only thing I know”
"Guts Over Fear" (2014)

True, said Ales, things done can not be undone,
Be they done in due time, too late, or too soon,
But better late than never to repent this,
To late, said my aunt, this repentance shown is,
When the steed is stolen shut the stable door.
Part I, chapter 10
"Better late than never" is recorded earlier by Livy as Potius sero quam numquam. (book IV, sec. 23).
Proverbs (1546)
“5542. When a Thing is done, Advice comes too late.”
