Index | For Want of a Nail


For want of a nail the shoe was lost; for want of the shoe the horse was lost; and for want of a horse the rider was lost.

Thoughts by Benjamin Franklin from Poor Richard's Almanac, or from his letters, on life and prosperity.


“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
– Jesus, John 14:27
