The saying actually means that no one can successfully fulfill two conflicting responsibilities. - Supermexicana, Oct 13, 2011

Actually I think that is a Blible allusion to a remark Jesus said about not being able to serve two masters at the same time in one of his parables. I'll have to look it up.
Matthew 6:24 (New International Version, ©2011)
24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
Mateo 6:24 (Nueva Versión Internacional)
24 Nadie puede servir a dos señores, pues menospreciará a uno y amará al otro, o querrá mucho a uno y despreciará al otro. No se puede servir a la vez a Dios y a las riquezas.
