"Takes one to know one" is used when a person makes an accusation against someone or calls another person a name. It is saying that the person making an accusation is guilty of doing the same thing as the accused person.
You say "You are a thief!" and I say "Takes one to know one". I am saying that, yes, I am a thief, but you are also a thief.
