A rose by any other name will never smell so sweet. This quote was made in 1914 known to be as William Shakespeares play "Romeo and Juliet". It is a romance play and is also a little bit of a comedy. This quote is very popular.
The meaning of this quote is (what matters is what something is, not what it is called). I think this meaning mean that dont judge people on the outside, its the inside that counts.
In Act II, Scene 2 of the play, the line is said by Juliet in reference to Romeo's house, would imply that his name means nothing and they should be together.
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,
