Keep Calm and Carry On. One of the most inspirational quotes in the world. A poster produced by the British government in 1939 during the beginning of the Second World War, it was intended to raise the morale of the British public in the event of an invasion. Seeing only limited distribution, very little was known about it. The poster was rediscovered in 2000 and has been re-issued by a number of private sector companies, and used as the decorative theme for a range of other products. There are only two known surviving examples of the poster outside government archives.
But is that all. The franchise from this poster is worth thousands and has been adapted in so many different ways, from motivational quotes to the quotes that match your angry mood, whether it is with the banks or with the government, the phrase, which has never been used for the original purpose, is now something everyone has heard of!
