Will Shakespeare hawked the phrase… yep.  It was plagiarism.  A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, he said.
Now. Whoever first said…. “A rose by any other name is still a rose”…..  was pretty right about that.

But this is universally applicable.

It can be said about anything really.
Organic apricots.
Tiddly-Winks.
Cheeseburgers.
Pillows.
Anything.
Dog crap by any other name is still dog crap.
Not nearly as poetic.   And yet…..

“Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.” – Helen Keller
