Keep Calm and Carry On

I first saw this slogan on a poster and most recently on a coffee mug. Evidently this slogan comes with a little piece of history. During World War II, the British Government's Department of Propaganda designed a poster with the words, "Keep Calm and Carry On" to be displayed in public transportation and on store windows upon the invasion of England by Germany. Luckily this never happened and the posters were destroyed. In 2000, an old copy hiding in a pile of books was rediscovered by a bookseller and "ta da" now you can find this slogan printed on just about anything.
