The quote

Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em.

William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night (1601)

The puzzle as it was set

EUNW DIW LUIK OIWDZ, EUNW DXFMWGW OIWDZKWEE, DKH EUNW FDGW OIWDZKWEE ZFIQEZ QJUK 'WN.

The key

Each code letter stood for one real letter (code letter, then the real letter it hid):

D → AL → BX → CH → DW → EO → GF → HM → IN → MK → NU → OJ → PI → RE → SZ → TQ → UG → V

The most frequent code letter was W (13 times), which stood for E. Short words, apostrophes and repeated letters are the usual way in: a one-letter word is almost always A or I, and THE is the commonest three-letter word in English.
