Later better than never!

晚做总比不做好！

youdao

However, it's better to say thank you late than never at all, so don't give up on sending a letter of appreciation later if you feel that this is appropriate.

然而表达感激之情比不表达总要好，所以不要放弃写感谢信，即使你觉得这个时候才写是不合适的。

youdao

You can always elaborate later, but you can never take back something rash you have already said. It is better to be cautions than sorry!

尽管事后你可以精心地推敲，但你却不能将说过的话收回，所以小心谨慎总比事后遗憾要好一点。

youdao

Still, better later than never.
