Browse the Library of Congress
I am just discovering the vastness of the stuff available to browse in the Library of Congress online.
Here are a few I grabbed from the WPA Posters collection.

For more than a decade I wondered over the meaning of the second part and what was the surreal linkage between the two? If I said the quote to someone, “Knowledge is power, France is Bacon” they nodded knowingly. Or someone might say, “Knowledge is power” and I’d finish the quote “France is Bacon” and they wouldn’t look at me like I’d said something very odd but thoughtfully agree. I did ask a teacher what did “Knowledge is power, France is bacon” meant and got a full 10 minute explanation of the Knowledge is power bit but nothing on “France is bacon”. When I prompted further explanation by saying “France is Bacon?” in a questioning tone I just got a “yes”. at 12 I didn’t have the confidence to press it further. I just accepted it as something I’d never understand.
It wasn’t until years later I saw it written down that the penny dropped.

It even lacks a Wikipedia page. To put that in perspective, Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch has a shockingly detailed Wikipedia page, complete with brackets and tables, but Rock N’ Jock has nothing.
