Roman Proverb

Bis das, si cito das.

You give twice if you give quickly.

Now there's two possible meanings of this Roman saying.  1 is the real meaning and 1 is the meaning I came up with.

The real meaning is that if you give someone help quickly it's twice as valuable.

I thought it meant if you're haggling for something if you make your offer quickly you'll overpay for it.  According to my professor, I'm a cynical capitalist!
