This is the full quote from a much longer speech by Cassius in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar?

Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world 
Like a Colossus, and we petty men 
Walk under his huge legs and peep about 
To find ourselves dishonorable graves. 
Men at some time are masters of their fates. 
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, 
But in ourselves, that we are underlings.

The point of this speech is to argue against the idea that the gods have designated mortals for greatness or obscurity, but that we choose our own status. One can "peep about" the legs of supposed greats, or one can challenge those with clay feet. VDH certainly chose this reference well.
