Yes. But you asked for them.

Yea........Good one Jonny, I know some untrained guys who make the trained guys look like rank amateurs.

*ahem*

An apple never falls far from the tree

It means, generally, that children take after their parents. The origin of the proverb is unknown but there are various versions in various languages.

Ralph Waldo Emerson used it in the U.S. in 1839.

The apple never falls far from the tree, which means that family characteristics will always assert themselves, is apparently of eastern origin.
~Oxford.com, "Passionate about language"
AskOxford: Proverbs

The apple never falls far from the tree. - This proverb, referring to the central part of the distribution, is known in 42 languages in Europe. - The German and Hungarian equivalents are not as categoric as the English one, they simply state: "The apple does not fall far from the tree"

- German: Der Apfel fällt nicht weit vom Stamm.

- Hungarian: Nem esik messze az alma a fájától.


In this case too, there is a Hungarian variant, collected in the Bakonyalja region, referring to acorn instead of apple (there are large oak woods there), which includes the exceptional case as well:

"The acorn does not fall far from the tree, if it falls, then it falls very far from it". (Nem esik messze a makk a fájától, ha esik, igen messze esik)
Proverbs and Reality

Proving the seed never falls far from the tree, Dale Berra said: "You can't compare me to my father. Our similarities are different."

Brits only shower once a week.
Kiwis sleep with sheep.
Aussies wear thongs because they're too stupid to tie shoelaces.
Thais smile a lot.
