….a rose by any other name….

A rose by another name would smell as sweet. This quote is from William Shakespeare, in the movie Romeo and Juliet, in act 2 scene 2. The meaning of A rose by another name would smell as sweet, means that if something was called something else it would still have the same characteristics. The movie was made in 1591. 

This is what Juliet said in the movie where she said A rose by another name is still a rose. 

'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!

What's in a name? that which we call a rose

By any other name would smell as sweet;

So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,

Retain that dear perfection which he owes

Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,

And for that name which is no part of thee

Take all myself.

The quote shows that no matter what you are called it doesn’t change the way you act or your characteristics.
