As there is no question included with this quote, I will focus on explaining what the quote means.

This quote comes from <em>The Scarlet Letter</em> by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The quote is included in the scene where Chillingworth and Hester meet again. The two of them talk about their past relationship, and end on a relatively amicable note. However, Chillingworth asks Hester not to reveal his true identity. Hester accepts, but she is then surprised at the expression on Chillingworth's face. She worries that his smile is evidence of the fact that she has entered an agreement that does not benefit her, and that will prove to be "the ruin of [her] soul."

Answer:

Hamlet's speech from Act V scene i of the play "Hamlet".

Explanation:

These lines are said by Hamlet in Act V scene i of the tragedy play "Hamlet"by William Shakespeare. This play centers on the revenge act by a young prince for the murder of his father by his uncle. The play also shows the greed of the new King Claudius and the lengths he would go to conceal his secret.

The particular passage given in the question is from the dialogue of Hamlet when they were in the graveyard, talking of the different skulls the gravediggers had dug out. Hamlet asked Horatio or rather told him about how life and death can be so different. One can be the ruler of a mighty empire but after death, returns to the same dust that everyone turns back to. He further puts his point forward by suggesting that what if the dust of Alexander or Caesar for that matter, be used as clay to "<em>patch a wall t' expel the winter’s flaw!</em>"
