Answers:
"In my stars I am above thee; but be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em."

Shakespeare, Twelfth Night. It's actually in a letter written by some of the minor and more mischievous characters in Olivia's handwriting to Malvolio to convince him that she's in love with him and get him to act like an idiot. Which she isn't and which he does. If you need to know who says it in the play, it's Malvolio, reading out loud.
