Give A Penny, Get A Penny
Give A Penny, Get A Penny
Most gas stations in the South have little change dishes by the register. If you’re paying for a transaction and need an extra penny or two, you simply take one from the dish. People then reciprocate this good turn by dropping a few coins in the dish from time to time, thereby creating a community bank of sorts, based on goodwill.
So in that spirit, this is Southern Plate’s “Give A Penny, Get A Penny” page.” I dearly love positive quotes and am always scouring the web for more so I thought this would be a great place to compile all of those. I’ll post mine, you post yours, and we can all “Give A Penny” when we have one and come back to “Get A Penny” when we need one.
I’ll also draw from these quotes to include at the bottom of my posts and emails that I send out to Southern Plate readers and be sure to credit the person who provided it, so include a link to your blog if you have one.
I would consider it a personal favor if you’d take the time to share a quote of motivation or positivity in the comments section below. Quote yourself, your Mama, someone famous, or our best friend “Anonymous”, it doesn’t matter, long as you drop your penny and then come back on one of those days when you feel like you might need one yourself.
Gratefully,
Christy


“Be kinder than necessary, for everyone is fighting some sort of battle.” I don’t know where this came from, but i saw a similar quote credited to a Greek philosopher centuries ago. I try very hard to remember to do this every day.

Worrying does not take away tomorrow’s troubles; it takes away today’s peace!
“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind. ”

You should always leave your house in dying condition.(meaning if you should suddenly die you would not have been embarassed for anyone to come in and see it.
If you are coming to see me, come any time. If you are coming to see my house, make an appointment!
If you are all wrapped up in yourself, you are overdressed!
