I have never tried to translate "Find her, Keep her!" till now. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you!
"Find her, Keep her!" can literately be translated into Vietnamese as "Tm nng, giữ nng!"
There is no way anyone can translate "Đ tm được, phải giữ lấy!" into English as "Find her, Keep her!" (anyone who understands English and Vietnamese well will have no choice but tranlate "Đ tm được, phải giữ lấy!" into English as "Found it, should (must) have kept it!"), therefore, there is no way anyone can correctly translate "Find her, Keep her!" into Vietnamese as "Đ tm được, phải giữ lấy!"
There is a Walt Disney Cartoon named "Find her, Keep her"
("Find her, Keep her"-The new adventures of Winnie the Pooh---- www.bcdb.com/cartoon_synopsis/32092-Find_Her,_Keep_Her.html), in which there is a FEMALE BABY BLUEBIRD named KESSIE. "Find her, Keep her" in this Cartoon here refers to KESSIE, the FEMALE BIRD that Rabbit found and wanted to keep :-).
As I said in my earlier post that "Find and Keep" can also be used for human beings (Ex: His daughter was kidnapped and he tried to find her.), but it is a little less romantic than "Catch and hold". "Find and keep" is usually use in a comical way or by dating agencies which try to help people finding their match.
As for me, I am an uneducated, unskill laborer I can only dream that one day I might "CATCH AND HOLD" the better half of mine somewhere somehow :-).
PS: I do agree with Mr. Ototot that lots of companies use all kind of "silly slogan" to trick people to come to their business establishments.

I truly do not know the origin of the ancient proverbs which Mr. Ototot posted above (Perhaps, either Lao Tzu or Confucius who may have said them!?). However, to the best of my ability, I will try to translate them into Vietnamese for those who do not understand English well (Not for Mr. Ototot though :-) 'cause I know for sure he understands them as well as he could translate them into Vietnamese).
My Vietnamese and English are limited and I may be just what the French would call "Ce sont les tonneaux vides qui font le plus de bruit" ("It's the empty barrels that make the most noise" = "Thng rổng ku to"). So please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you!
Sinnombre thật tnh khng biết nguồn gốc của những cu thnh ngữ cổ xưa m Bc Ototot đăng ở trn ( C thể l Lo Tử hay Khổng Tử đ ni!?). Thế nhưng với hết khả năng Sinnombre sẽ cố gắng dịch những cu thnh ngữ nầy ra tiếng Việt Nam cho những người khng hiểu tiếng Anh nhiều (Khng phải dịch cho Bc Ototot :-) v Sinnombre biết chắc chắn l Bc Ototot thừa hiểu cũng như thừa khả năng dịch những cu thnh ngữ nầy ra tiếng Việt Nam).
Tiếng Việt Nam v tiếng Anh của Sinnombre c giới hạn v Sinnombre cũng c thể l người m người Php gọi l "Ce sont les tonneaux vides qui font le plus de bruit" ("Thng rổng ku to"). V vậy nếu Sinnombre c sai xin tất cả lm ơn sửa sai gim. Cm ơn!
*He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool; avoid him.
-Người khng biết m khng biết l mnh khng biết l người ngu xuẩn khờ dại; trnh xa người nầy.
*He who knows not and knows that he knows not is a student; teach him.
-Người khng biết m biết l mnh khng biết l người hiếu học; dạy cho hắn.
*He who knows and knows not that he knows is asleep; wake him.
-Người biết m khng biết l mnh biết l người đang say ngũ; đnh thức hắn.
*He who knows and knows that he knows is a wise man; follow him.
-Người biết m biết l mnh biết l người khn ngoan học rộng; theo hắn (theo học).
PS: Con Chn thnh Cm ơn Bc Ototot thật nhiều! Con nghĩ l từ đy về sau con cần phải thực hnh cu chm ngn "Il faut tourner sa langue sept fois dans sa bouche avant de parler" m người Php thường khuyn nầy :-) .

Dear Kitharan,
"Find her, keep her" is a grammatically correct sentence, and there is nothing wrong with it. However, native speakers usually use the verb "To find" for things, especially thing that they have already lost, rather than for human beings. Yes! Of course one could try to "find" his love one if he lost one, but when it comes to a knock out drop dead gorgeous young lady of one's dream a native speaker uses the term "Catch and Hold" instead of "Find and Keep".
By the way, "Back out" in this context is NOT a phrasal verb "back out" which means "withdraw", and NOT "hide". In this context "Back" is a verb and "Out" is an adverb which means "in a direction away from the inside", for examples: 1). Let's go OUT and look at the stars. 2) He just stepped OUT for a drink of water. 3) I got in my car and backed out of the garage.
Hope that this will clear things up!
Regards,
Sinnombre
