This quote is from William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet." It is spoken by Juliet in a famous passage where she argues that a name is an artificial and irrelevant label, and that the essence of a person or thing is more important than their name.
Juliet in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.Origin From Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, 1594: JULIET:'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 partBelonging to a man. O, be some other name!What's in a name? that which we call a roseBy any other name would smell as sweet;So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,Retain that dear perfection which he owesWithout that title. Romeo, doff thy name,And for that name which is no part of theeTake all myself.Courtesy of Phrase.org

Aristotle would likely classify this response as brief and to the point, lacking in elaborate explanation but effective in conveying information efficiently.
Integrity involves adhering to a set of principles and values, which typically include honesty and moral uprightness. If someone is engaging in criminal activities and associating with fellow law-breakers, it is contradictory to say they have integrity. Loyalty to criminals does not override the fundamental principles of integrity.
The animals call the system of thought that Old Major taught them "Animalism." It revolves around the idea of animals overthrowing their human oppressors and living in harmony with each other.
"That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet" are words spoken by Juliet in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
In my opinion, that which we call arose by any other name would smell as sweet.
What would be the point of having it otherwise? However, as you know, "that which we call a rose, by any other word would smell as sweet."
Juliet is basically talking about how names mean nothing in a person. She says "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" meaning that Romeo would still be as sweet if or if he wasn't a montegue. (since their families are enemies)
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet."
And that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, yes.
Yes. It is in Romeo and Juliet: "What's in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet."
Juliet says "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet" in Act 2, Scene 2 of William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet." She is expressing her belief that a person's identity is not defined by their name.
Juliet uses an analogy when she says, "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet" (2.2.43-44); her point is that Romeo's surname,"Montague," shouldn't matter. If a rose were called a "cabbage," it would still smell sweet; and even though Romeo's name is the name of her family enemy, he's still wonderful.
This is most likely an elongated paraphrase of Juliet's statement, "What's in a name? That which we call a rose/ By any other name would smell as sweet;" If so, then Shakespeare would have been the first to coin it.

Juliet meant that like if a rose was called anything else it would still smell sweet, referring to Romeo, saying that if he were named anything else he would still be sweet despite his last name. He is still the same guy even if he is a Montague, so if it is only a matter of names he could change names, or if he didn't want to, she would change hers and no longer be a Capulet.
