R’ Avraham Lichstein zt”l (Haggadah Eishel B’Rama) would say: “'הא לחמא עניא' - One can imagine the despair of a poor man not at his own Seder table. The host who invites him in reads the sad expression on the face of his guest. To make him feel at ease, the host proclaims, “This is the bread of affliction our fathers ate in the land of Egypt. Do not feel uncomfortable; our parents experienced deprivation and had to rely on this meager food. In the end they were redeemed and left with great wealth. Eat to your heart’s content, and next year we will all merit to be in the land of Israel, where each person will be in his own castle, celebrating with his own family.”
A Wise Man would say: “A ship is safe in harbor, but that’s not what ships are for.”
