Listen, my friend, there are two races of beings. The masses teeming and happy --common clay, if you like --eating, breeding, working, counting their pennies; people who just live; ordinary people; people you can't imagine dead. And then there are the others --the noble ones, the heroes. The ones you can quite well imagine lying shot, pale and tragic; one minute triumphant with a guard of honor, and the next being marched away between two gendarmes.

Pennies do not come from heaven. They have to be earned here on earth

If you look after the pennies, the dollars will look after themselves.

John 6:7:
Philip answered him, 'It would take almost a year's wages to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!'
(NIV)
Philip answered Him, Two hundred pennies' (forty dollars) worth of bread is not enough that everyone may receive even a little.
(AMP)
Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
(KJV)
