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
The struggle ends when the gratitude begins.

~Anyone who stops learning is old whether this happens at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps on learning not only remains young but becomes constantly more valuable, regardless of pysical capacity.~

I have a collection of “sayings” that I started when I was in my 20’s. I am now in my 60’s!!!!!!
A cute quote from our Church’s cookbook.
“Happiness is like potato salad – share it and you have a picnic!”
Keep a smile on your face and a song in your heart.
If you did not see it with your own eyes or hear it with you own
ears, don’t invent it with your small mind and share it with your
big mouth! …unknown
I’m new to your website and love it. I’ve shared it with my daughter who is always looking for new recipes for tailgating in the grove at Ole Miss.
I have a quote to share that has helped me over the years…
“The will of God will never take you where the grace of God will not protect you.” (Unknown)
Thanks again for a wonderful website!
