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

Love all these great quotes ~ awesome reminders!! 🙂
My very favorite quote from my momma that I have always lived by:
“If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.”
from CS Lewis:
“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: “What! You too? I thought I was the only one.”
and from Dr. Seuss:
“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”
My dad always told me:
Life is all about the choices we make.
If we choose to be grumpy when we wake up, well that’s the kind of day we will have.
If we wake up happy that only makes us and everyone around us have a better day!
(I miss my mom & dad)

There there, said Piglet. I’ll bring you tea and honey until you do.’
