Build a better missile than your neighbor, and the world will blast a path to your door.

original

If a man... make a better mousetrap than his neighbour,

tho' he build his house in the woods,

the world will make a beaten path to his door.

  • Ralph Waldo Emerson, quoted by Sarah S.B. Yule, Borrowings
