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,

A long time ago when I was younger, and always broke , my grandmother always used to say ” Watch your penny’s and your nickles and dimes will take care of themselves .” I never understood what that meant until I was much older. Now I find myself telling my kids this all the time. I miss both my grandmas and their wisdom everyday .
you don’t have to attend every argument that you are invited to
Don’t know if this one has been used….. my husband’s granny use to say this all the time…..
WHEN YOUR KIDS ARE LITTLE, THEY STEP ON YOUR FEET…..
BUT WHEN THEY ARE GROWN THEY STEP ON YOUR HEART…..
THIS ALWAYS BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES 🙁
Originally, every persons life is a brilliantly shinning mirror. The difference arise on whether one polishes this mirror.
