How many times it thundered before Franklin took the hint! How many apples fell on Newton's head before he took the hint! Nature is always hinting at us. It hints over and over again. And suddenly we take the hint.

"Lives of the Poets : The Story of One Thousand Years of English and American Poetry (1959) by Louis UntermeyerRobert Frost
The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended — and not to take a hint when a hint isn't intended.
Robert Frost
Irony is the first hint that consciousness became conscious.
Fernando Pessoa
Every parting gives a foretaste of death, every reunion a hint of the resurrection.
Arthur Schopenhauer
What do you think God gave you more wealth than is requisite to satisfy your rational wants for, when you look around and see how many are in absolute need of that which you do not need? Can you not take the hint?
Josiah Gilbert Holland
'Tis strange how like a very dunce,
Man, with his bumps upon his sconce,
Has lived so long, and yet no knowledge he
Has had, till lately, of Phrenology—
A science that by simple dint of
Head-combing he should find a hint of,
When scratching o'er those little pole-hills
The faculties throw up like mole hills.Thomas Hood
