The Horseshoe nail is a symbol to remember to look at the small things!
‘Small actions can have great consequences’
The poem ‘For the want of a nail’ was quoted by Benjamin Franklin;
“For the want of a nail the shoe was lost,
For the want of a shoe the horse was lost,
For the want of a horse the rider was lost,
For the want of a rider the battle was lost,
For the want of a battle the kingdom was lost,
And all for the want of a horseshoe-nail.”
