"Don't throw away your old shoes until you have got new ones."
-Dutch Proverb
The meaning of this quote is to not get rid of something until you know you have a replacement, or another one to use. I agree with this quote, because you may think you don't need something, and then you get rid of it. But later on you are wishing you had kept it, because you don't have another. You should always think ahead, and make sure you absolutely don't need the item or items anymore before getting rid of them.
I don't recall having read something involving this quote, but I can relate to it (literally; it has to do with shoes). Last year I got new shoes, because my old ones were getting dirty. I threw the old ones away, because now I had new ones. But one day I forgot my new shoes in my gym locker, and I had volleyball practice after school. I suddenly found myself wishing I had kept my other shoes, no matter how dirty they had been. My mom finally decided to take me shopping for another pair of shoes to keep at home. True story.
This is an important thing to remember, because it will definitely help you sometime in life.
