"Kill Two Birds With One Stone"

Meaning:

Achieve two objectives at the same time
Origin:

This phrase comes from a similar Latin expression 2000 years ago, it would be amazing if someone actually killed two birds at once by throwing a stone (what would be 2000 years ago). This phrase was then found in literature in the 16th century in both English and French. More recently this phrase or term was used by Thomas Hobbes in 1656 in a work on liberty.
