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 why of anything is to produce the what of everything.
When you make loving and caring for others the story of your life, then there is never a final chapter. The joy continues on always, page after page.
The highest courage is to dare to be yourself in the face of adversity.Choosing right from wrong, ethics over convenience & truth over popularity.These are choices that measure your life.Travel the path of integrity with out looking back for there is never a wrong
time to do the right thing.
“The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be”
These were in an e-mail I received recently. I can’t take credit for any
of these, but I thought they were pretty good.
Here are some great ways of dealing with the burdens of life:
* Just accept that, some days, you’re the pigeon:
and, some days, you’re the statue.
* Always keep your words soft and sweet – ,
just in case you have to eat them.
* Always wear stuff that will make you look good
if you die in the middle of it.
*Drive carefully. It’s not only cars that can be
“recalled” by their maker.
* If you can’t be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
* If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again,
It was probably worth it.
* It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to be kind to others.
* Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time,
because then you won’t have a leg to stand on.
* Nobody cares if you can’t dance well.
Just get up and dance.
* Since it’s the early worm that gets eaten by the bird,
sleep late.
* The second mouse gets the cheese.
* When everything’s coming your way,
you’re in the wrong lane.
* Birthdays are good for you.
The more you have, the longer you live.
* You may be only one person in the world,
But you may also be the world to one person.
* Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
* We could learn a lot from crayons… Some are sharp; some are pretty; and some are dull. Some have weird names; and all are different colours;
but they all have to live in the same box.
*A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about you today….I did…
I love this quote and Yogi was one of my favorite baseball players.
“It’s like déjà vu all over again.”

If you can’t sleep, don’t count sheep. Talk to the Shepherd.
