“Should be Arbeit Macht Frei”
Unless you’re the chip monk. Then it’s “Arbeit Macht Fries.”
One day while driving home from his fishing trip in the pouring rain, a man got a flat tire outside a monastery. A monk came out and invited him inside to have dinner and spend the night. The motorist accepted.

“No,” the man replied, “I’m the chip monk.”
“From each according to his ability to each according to his need’’.
