You once asked me for advice. You want some now? Never give up a good thing.
— Starship Troopers • 1997

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker recalls an earlier request for advice, asks whether advice is wanted now, and delivers a short maxim. The final instruction values keeping something good. Its bluntness makes the recommendation memorable, while leaving the particular thing and circumstances unstated.
