    This is a proverb. "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 driver was lost." "Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." "A stitch in time saves nine." "Silk and satin, scarlet and velvet, often put out the kitchen fire." "Better late than never"
