….a rose by any other name….
A rose by any other name is a quote by William Shakespeare. In the play, Romeo & Juliet (Act II Scene II) Juliet says this to Romeo, "What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet." Prior to that she says, "Tis but thy name that is my enemy; Thou art thyself though, not a Montague. What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part Belonging to a man. O! be some other name." A Montague is a name.
This quote is meaning that whatever it is called it will still be the same. Another version is A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
