Fast bind fast find implies we can find things quickly in the future when needed if we lock things securely. Interestingly, Shylock tells his daughter to securely lock up his belongings and his daughter decides to stab him for the things he trusts in her

Explanation:

• When the Jewish money-lender Shylock says in Act II of Scene V from Shakespeare's The Venice merchants, " "fast bind, fast find, a proverb never stale in thrifty mind," he is instructing her to secure herself in her house lest she be the victims of the outside world's temptations, namely Lorenzo's romantic attentions. Shylock's argument is that when he returns from his company, a daughter locked up is a daughter that will be there
