While i like this quote in a vacuum, you should be aware that this is the description of the book where it came from:
Man, The Unknown is a best-selling 1935 book by Alexis Carrel which advocated, in part, that mankind could better itself by following the guidance of an elite group of intellectuals, and by implementing a regime of voluntary eugenics.
Alexis Carrel

i agree the quote would be better changed by adding an indefinite article to the beginning:
works better, takes out the eugenics
