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,

My Daddy was my hero! And in good times as well as bad, I always turned to him for comfort and guidance, knowing where he received his guidance. t never failed, no mater how bi, or small , he ALWAYS had time for me and assured me that Christ also ALWAYS had time. Then Daddy would say, “Remember Sis, “Be STILL and know that I am GOD”!
Years ago I received an email from an employee at an air force base and after her name and info was
I AM TO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED…..
I now think of this SAYING every time I get angry at the little things that annoy us every day and relax as I remember how truly blessed I am with family and great friends.
