Что ты! что ты! опомнись! Большое. Знай сверчок свой шесток! Не твоё дело! (А. Островский, Свои люди - сочтёмся) — Agrafena Kondratyevna. What're you doing! What're you doing! Recollect yourself! Bolshov. Stay on your own side of the fence! This is none of your business!Приедут, между прочим, купцы Хтулкин и Переулков: для этих господ положены в передней лист бумаги и перо. "Каждый сверчок знай свой шесток". Пусть распишутся и уйдут. (А. Чехов, Раз в год) — Among those who would come there were also sure to be the merchants Khtulkin and Pereulkov; for these gentlemen a sheet of paper and a pen have been placed in the ante-room.

Алёшка... тоже вошёл в избу и, помолившись со лживым усердием на иконы, скромненько уселся на лавочке у самой двери - всяк, мол, сверчок знай свой шесток. (В. Катаев, Растратчики) — Alyoshka... also entered the hut, and after praying with deceitful fervour to the icons, seated himself on a bench just within the door - the cobbler doesn't go beyond his last.
Мы можем, из последних сил подступив, лишь замереть в бессилии перед неизъяснимостью наших понятий и недоступностью соседних пределов, но переступить их и подать оттуда пусть слабый совсем и случайный голос нам не позволится. Знай сверчок свой шесток. (В. Распутин, Что передать вороне?) — Gathering our last strength, we can only approach and stop still, powerless before the inarticulateness of our concepts and the inaccessibility of adjacent spaces, for it is not given to us to step over and then give even the weakest and occasional voice from there. If you are a cricket stay on your hearth!
