Keep Calm And Carry On: 10 Quotes For Life

Keep Calm and Carry On was a World War 2 government poster discovered in a dusty box over 10 years ago. Though it never saw the light of day in 1939 (it was only supposed to go up if Britain was invaded), it has become hugely popular since its re-discovery.

Keep Calm and Carry On: Good Advice For Hard Times is the book of the poster. A mixture of advice, entertainment and inspiration to go through life.

• Keep Calm
• Carry On

Carry on is about happiness, friendship and the good life.
