"If you build them, they will come." Who originally came up with that quote?

Question

I was wondering who came up with the quote, "If you build them, they will come." ? I think it was Trump or someone talking about real estate or something, but who was the first to say that quote when using it for dreams?

Field of Dreams-

Answer 4

It's a line from the movie "Field of Dreams:" If you build it, they will come.

Donald Trump, as far as I know, has never said anything original.

Answer 5

If You Build It, They Will Come.- Teddy Roosevelt
Thats the original

Answer 6

the line in the movie was "If you build it, he will come." And it was said by a disembodied voice. So Costner builds a baseball field in the middle of his cornfield and everyone thinks he's crazy. When the field is done, ghost baseball players come out and play and the family interacts with them. Thousands of people come from miles away to see the games. Eventually Costner's dad (who was dead) came out and played and there was an emotional moment and Costner finds closure.

Answer 7

W.P. Kinsella wrote the book on which Field of Dreams is based. Phil Alden Robinson wrote the screenplay.
