A good move has at least two ideas

Hi, I'm trying to find the source of a quote for a chess rule of thumb that goes something like, "a good move has at least two strong ideas." Any idea who said this or where it came from? Or was I dreaming?
I like to try to do at least two things whenever I make a chess move. I never heard it before but I made it up myself.
I never said that to anyone so it can't be a quote of mine. I wouldn't be surprised if a LOT of people said it tho, because it is a "common sense" type thing
@FireIslandGerbil Checkmate is always easy. If he does not castle its obviously easy to checkmate. If he castles, just checkmate him. Takes longer but works too
