Actually the saying is 'people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones', it's about being a hypocrite like 'the cat calling the kettle black'

I thought it was... "people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones". In essence it means don't judge others especially if you yourself have done the same thing you are criticizing or judging (the glass house). An example would be... (let's say you have a very dirty car...) You then turn around and tell your friend that there car is very dirty and they should clean it. (you'd never do that because it is extremely rude even if your car was not also dirty.) Anyway, that friend could turn around and tell you that "people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones". Meaning your car is dirty too... what are you doing judging me? I hope you have a clear understanding now. Have a wonderful day and may God bless you.

It should read:
<>
Basically means that no one is perfect, and by throwing a stone to criticize another, you are inviting that glass to come crashing down on you.

I believe the correct quote is "people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." That is self explanatory.

The actual saying is: 'people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones'. It means that we shouldn't judge or hurt others, because if we are judged then we can be hurt by that ourselves. It's another way of saying 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you'.

Basically - Don't hurt someones feelings because they can hurt yours right back. "People who live in glass houses should not throw stones" reminds us that we should be careful how we treat other people (with our words and actions) because we can all be easily hurt. People "throw stones" at other people to try to hurt them, and one way that people try to hurt other people is by saying bad things about them. If you lived in a "glass house" it would be very easy for other people to hurt you by throwing stones at you. "People who live in glass houses should not throw stones" means that we should not say insulting things to other people because they could easily do the same thing to us. Example: "Look at that shirt you are wearing! Did you buy that back in the '80s?!" Answer: "Hey, you're not so young yourself; people who live in glass houses should not throw stones!" Something made of glass can easily break; it is vulnerable; and we are all vulnerable in different ways. Sometimes we forget our own vulnerability and "throw stones" at other people in the form of criticism. A person might remind us that we too have our own faults and weakenesses by saying "people who live in glass houses should not throw stones". Example: "Look at what time it is... you are late again!" Answer: "Hey, how often are you not on time? People who live in glass houses should not throw stones."

You may be confusing this with :
"People who live in glass houses shouldnt throw stones"
It means you shouldnt critisise someone about a problem you have. I.e saying "Your work was bad" when you know that you couldnt do any better.
