"Quien sufre antes de lo necesario sufre más de lo necesario."

Simplified Meaning:
When people worry about things that haven't happened yet, they cause themselves unnecessary distress. It's like when a student gets really anxious about a big test weeks before it happens. They spend so much time being scared and stressed when nothing bad has actually happened yet. If they wait and prepare calmly, they can avoid a lot of that stress. If everyone worries too much about future problems, they're just making their own lives harder. Instead, handling challenges as they come can save them from a lot of unnecessary pain.
