let's do it objectively;
**There Is A Tide In The Affairs Of Men: this means that there is a clause to everything man does, like in the sea, the alternate rising and falling of the sea. So in this quote, Tide means the Upper and lower side of the affairs of men.
**Taken At The Flood, Leads To Success: Flood here is in form of a way(a route) which we all know won't be an easy route. So the quote is saying if you take the hard way in life, u're bound to more success(fortune). Remember, the higher the risk, the higher the reap.
IN PLAIN: The quote means, There are two choices in everything man does, the easy and the hard(flood/risky). If you take the Hard(risky) way, you're bound to more fortune.
