Danish term

Ingen er i mål, før alle er i mål.

Danish to English Marketing Furniture / Household Appliances business
Part of marketing material. I had thought of 'no one is happy until everyone is happy' but I'd like (a) different suggestion(s) (text is related to high-quality furniture/design).

Deadline EOD Aug. 23 Pacific Time.

Thanks, that's what I thought, too, but the Danish client wanted a different suggestion - ugh! I guess they don't understand the English meaning as well as you and I ;-)

Without context your suggestion sounds good to me

Another wild guess - No one is a winner until everyone is a winner.
And another - No one is successful until everyone is successful.
