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

I can’t say this is an inspirational quote but I sure like it.

Great words of wisdom! How much better we all would be if we realized we can’t control every single thing in our lives and could just let go of the things that we really can’t control so that they don’t drive us crazy. A friend quoted this to me the other day and said it is fast becoming her favorite quote and a compass for her life.
Believe your beliefs, doubt your doubts but never doubt your beliefs or believe your doubts.

“It is never wrong to do the right thing!” From my sister Katie, don’t know where she got it, but it sure is good! I love you Katie!
