@change This should be something like "A good thing cannot be done too soon, no matter how soon you do it."

Reminder

I added a change tag.

A better match for the Japanese would perhaps be....

It's never too early to do something that should be done.
No matter how soon you ..., it's never too soon.

Perhaps the other English sentence linked to this Japanese doesn't match so well.

I fixed the sentence and unlinked from the Japanese one.
