I also heard, When my father wrecked my car, and I needed a new one: "can't get blood from a stone"
We had a little twist on the blood from a stone saying.

My Dad would loan money to some loser and someone would say he would never be repaid because the borrower had nothing then they would add, "You can't get blood from a turnip,"

Daddy would always say, "Yeah, but you can get the turnip."

And he always got repaid too.
