> The phrase "det bedste ir ikke for godt" (roughly "only the best is good enough") has a long history in the company.

Just for the record, the phrase is »kun det bedste er godt nok«.

Your phrase would translate as 'the best is not too good', or in more natural English 'the best is bad' (which more accurately conveys the same meaning).

It's "kun det bedste er godt nok" alright and I would translate that to "Only the best is good enough". Just for the record.
