Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door.

If man has good corn, or wood, or boards, or pigs to sell, or can make better chairs or knives, crucibles, or church organs, than anybody else, you will find a broad, hard-beaten road to his house, though it be in the woods

If a man write a better book, preach a better sermon, or make a better mouse-trap than his neighbor, tho' he build his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door.

It is the privilege of any human work which is well done to invest the doer with a certain haughtiness.

If the single man plant himself indomitably on his instincts, and there abide, the huge world will come round to him

Imagination is not the talent of some men, but is the health of every man
