"Personal motto" (w**k-centric)

We're in the midst of a merger and, apparently, each employee is going to get a bit of space on the brand new merged website. We've each had a photo, and the word in the office is that the next stage will be three short paragraphs by each of us about who we are and what we do. Furthermore, one of these is to be, they say, a "personal motto".
This seems to me an ideal opportunity for a bit of fun. Obviously, anything noticeably frivolous will not be accepted for public viewing, so I'm going to have to be subtle. smiley - evilgrin I need something inoccuous at first, but which holds a hilarious hidden message for those 'in the know'; maybe a sci-fi/fantasy quote, or something originally by someone with whom the company might not normally wish to be associated.
Any ideas?

Hmm. "Your lack of planning is not my crisis" probably isn't subtle enough.

Although I have decided to adopt it as my personal motto at work - I'll live by it but I won't tell anyone.

Deb smiley - cheerup

Can you give us any hints as to the line of business your company is involved in? That would make it easier for us to suggest something appropriate.

Yes, I know, you wanted subtle. What kind of law?

All sorts actually. I'm just an admin grunt, though.

I take it 'resistance is futile' is not what you, or they, are looking for?

Could you make something of Shakespeare? There's Dick's comment about Lawyers here:

Awesome! My post's been hidden! Lord knows why: it contained a reference to Shakespeare - speficically to a character called Dick (17th C abbreviation for Richard) who had very clear ideas about what to do with lawyers. Google Henry VI Part 2, and go to Act IV scene ii.
