The full quote is: “Jack of all trades master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one.”


That's not “the” full quote; it's a modern variation of the classic quote.


There is no documented instance of your "full quote" prior to the 21st century. It's certainly not the origin of the phrase "Jack of all trades, master of none".
