For want of a nail the shoe was lost. For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
The saying comes from a longer proverb about a battle during which the loss of a nail in a horseshoe leads to the loss of a horse, which leads to the loss of the rider, which leads to the loss of the battle, which in turn leads to the loss of a whole kingdom.
For want of a battle, the kingdom was lost, And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.” Benjamin Franklin included a version of this proverb, preceded by the words, “A little neglect may breed great mischief,” in Poor Richard's Almanack in 1758 when the American colonies were at odds with the English Parliament.
