Start with the phrase
  I'm not a fat hen.
and perform the following steps in some order to find a famous quotation:

  • Add a letter.
  • Remove a letter.
  • Add a word.
  • Remove a word.
  • Join two words.
  • Split a word.
  • Change a letter.
  • Rearrange words.

Note: You can ignore punctuation, and add/remove punctuation as required, at any point.
Thus, I'm is one word.
