    Ulysses speaking to Achilles in act III, scene iii (line 175) of Troilus and Cressida.
    In this quote, Nature is defined as: Conformity to that which is natural, as distinguished from that which is artificial, or forced, or remote from actual experience.
    From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)
    However, many critics argue that this conformity is one of "common failing" and uneasy love of novelty which all men share.
