Why an ounce of prevention is more than a pound of cure?

It is an old expression trying to explain that it will be wise and of less effort or cost to prevent an accident or un-wanted happening rather than fixing it afterwards (cure) (which may be more costly or take more of an effort).An ounce is of course much smaller than a pound and the expression is not about physical weight but rather that of the difference in magnitude / effort / cost.
