Every man, as the saying is, can tame a shrew but he that hath her

The quote "Every man, as the saying is, can tame a shrew but he that hath her" is a line from Robert Burton's famous work, "The Anatomy of Melancholy." This quote speaks to the idea that it is easy for someone to believe they can control or change another person, but in reality, it is much more difficult to actually do so.
