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.


“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.”
Isaiah 53:5
