title: Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door
text: "Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door" is a metaphor about the power of innovation. It originated, in a somewhat different form, with Ralph Waldo Emerson. The epigram as known today, which specifies "mousetrap", probably also originated with Emerson, although the evidence is for this is indirect.
