DUKE : Too old, by heaven! Let still the woman take An elder than herself; so wears she to him, So sways she level in her husband's heart. For, boy, however we do praise ourselves, Our fancies are more giddy and unfirm, More longing, wavering, sooner lost and won, Than women's are. … DUKE: There is no woman's sides Can bide the beating of so strong a passion As love doth give my heart: no woman's heart So big to hold so much; they lack retention.

The set of lines that shows that Duke Orsino considers men to be more easily swayed by passion than women is this one: "For, boy, however we do praise ourselves, Our fancies are more giddy and unfirm, More longing, wavering, sooner lost and won, Than women's are."

The Duke, who is talking to Viola, is arguing that no matter how much men praise themselves, their "fancies" (their whims, their desires) are more "giddy" (more frivolous, more euphoric) and "unfirm" (more unsteady, since they are not firmly set), more "longing" (more craving), "wavering" (more quivering, more fluctuating), sooner lost and won (that is to say, temporal, brief, fleeting) that women's fancies. Because of this, they are more easily persuaded by passion, due to the intense, strong, enthusiastic, and uncontrollable nature of this feeling.

In terms of pursuing a higher education, the six questions to evaluate a source’s reliability discuss which outlets of information are credible, and which ones are not. To apply the six questions into finding sources in pursuing higher education, I would make sure to have a reputable publisher (such as a university), an author with good credentials (such as a person holding a doctorate in the area they are discussing), an unbiased publisher (such as an outlet of objectivity rather than subjectivity), a currently-dated article (keeping the information up-to-date), information that has citations and evidence to back up their statements (such as a scientific method experiment), and lastly, information regarding a common issue or dilemma that is also being discussed by other sources of information (such as political debates or environmental issues). A couple of examples of reliable and credible sources of information regarding higher education would be the articles discussing amount of debt the average college student holds, articles discussing the average graduation rate of 4-year university students, articles discussing the hot-button issue of global warming and how it is a threat to future civilizations, articles discussing the amount of students to have reportedly participated in plagiarism and cheating, and articles discussing how college professors are underpaid and exploited.
