Is there any idiom to describe the importance not to let somthing bad happen in the first place

I think it is well known that if we indulgently let something bad happen, there will be more similar cases arising. The outbreak of the negative effects could be unstoppable. So is there any idiom, proverb or fancy expression used to stress this point.
