The concept of "like is known by like" was a major philosophical doctrine at least as early as the 5th century B.C.E. Pythagoras taught that the extent or depth of our knowledge of the divine depends on us being like the divine, or assimilating to the divine. The idea was that to the degree that we have knowledge of the divine, we must have changed our own character from human to divine.
The doctrine of "like is known by like" was quite influential on later philosophical and religious schools of thought, especially Neoplatonism.
One might also apply the phrase in ethics without referring to other minds (divine or otherwise), to mean "being good enables or helps one to know the good". The idea that virtue somehow illuminates moral truth suggests that more virtuous people have a greater ability to know moral truth.
The phrase "like knows like" means that people who share similar qualities or experiences are more likely to understand each other on a deeper level. It suggests that there is a natural affinity between individuals who have common interests or backgrounds.
