Better close up the source of temptation and crime Than to deliver from dungeon or galley; Better put a strong fence 'round the top of the cliff, Than an ambulance down in the valley!

than to deliver from dungeon or galley do que libertar alguém das correntes da prisão

É melhor prevenir do que remediar, por outras palavras.

To deliver someone: libertar alguém. Acho que aqui não é libertar o próprio.
