My comments:
If you leave no stone unturned, you do everything you can.
This idiom is derived from the Greek legend of someone who was looking for treasures left from a battle. And when he consulted an oracle, someone who could talk to gods and therefore knew such secrets, he was told to “l(fā)eave no stone unturned.”
In other words, he was told the treasures were buried under the stones but not exactly where. And so he had to put in the effort.
Hence, therefore, if you leave no stone unturned in achieving something, you do what you can, all that you can.
