: I know what this refers too, but where did the saying come from?
And what does it mean?
It means don't criticise someone for imperfections because
you, yourself, are also imperfect in many ways.
Where it comes from I'm not
sure, but the phrase was in regular use by my mother and grandmother in the 1930s.
I guess it's just an allegory
