A little neglect may breed mischief: for want of a nail the shoe was lost; for want of a shoe the horse was lost; and for want of a horse the rider was lost

For want of a nail the shoe was lost, For want of a shoe the horse was lost, For want of a horse the rider was lost, Forwant of a rider the battle was lost, For want of a battle the kingdom was lost, And all for the want of a horse.

Many a Meal is lost for want of meat.

Fools make feasts and wise men eat them.

For want of a nail the shoe was lost

If you would not be forgotton as soon as you are dead and rotten, Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.
