There is a Spanish refrain that is:
"Lo que mal empieza mal acaba"
I think that this is the sentence that you looked for .

Or, "Un mal comienzo hace un mal final", that would be more literate, and it still means the same.

I think the English could be more eloquently rendered too, perhaps: A poor start makes for a poor end result... Or: A poor start bodes ill for its conclusion... Or: What starts badly ends badly...
