Explanation:

In this excerpt of the tragedy "Julius Caesar" by Shakespeare, Caesar is comparing himself to the Northern Star by saying he is as constant as the star is. Because of its position in a direct line with the Earth's rotational axis, the Northern Star stands practically motionless in the sky, giving the impression that the other stars change position around it. Thus, as Caesar says, the star is fixed and constant.

Just like the star, Caesar considers himself a constant man. He does not give up under pressure or attempts of persuasion. Unlike other man, he is committed to the law and to values, not distancing himself from them whenever things change course. By comparing himself to the Northern Star, Caesar is taking some of the star's qualities for himself: constancy, reliability, permanency.
