What quote would you choose?

The C of E school where I work is choosing a quote for each Department. My suggestion of “My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?” was rejected, along with my colleague’s Pythonesque, “ Your child is not the Messiah, he’s a very naughty boy!”
What would you choose?

Should read, Bible quote but any quote will do. SLT take this Very Seriously, the staff less so!

What’s your department?
I found a lovely Old Testament quote for the front of a cookery book wedding present for Christian friends: “You have been good and faithful servants so I will let you bake your bread over cow manure instead of human excrement.”

As the dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly - Proverbs 26.11

“Hic sunt dracones” is very fancy, I think. And “here be dragons” does describe some departments quite well.

If you like banging your own drum:
Isaiah 35:5
Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped.

Just found a great one for my school:
Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving.
