From the rec.toys.lego Frequently Asked Questions:
The LEGO motto: Det bedste er ikke for godt. (Only the best is good enough.)
Actually a word-by-word translation would be, "The best is not too good" - in
which "not too good" parses nicely into the idiom of a Jutlandish
understatement, making the between-the-lines statement be, "Actually, we'd
prefer to deliver rather better than the best". Henning Makholm
