Whenever you catch a fish is fresh.
Which is often used to suggest that it is never too late to do the right thing.

2There is an excellent book '1001 Persian-English Proverbs' by Simin Habibian that gives a Persian proverb, its literal translation to English, and then an idiomatic proverb in English with as close a corresponding meaning as possible.– MitchFeb 4, 2016 at 0:40

Hi, Hooman, I edited your post to delete the second question. It is the guideline of Stack Exchange to ask one question per post. Please post another question if you need an answer to your second question.– user140086Feb 4, 2016 at 4:45

[It's] Never too late [to do the right thing] ODO
ماهی را هروقت از آب بگیری تازه است
māhi rā har vaqt az āb begiri tāze ast
Lit. “Whenever you catch the fish it is fresh.”
Never too late
Along the same lines as better late than never, you could say there's no time like the present.
