When small actions lead to BIG consequences!

Posted on 23:40 by The Editor

"For Want of a Nail" is a figure of speech that illustrates the butterfly effect; comparing small actions with big consequences.

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.
For want of a rider the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

This proverb dating back the 14th century, is as true today as it was then.
