I think the King is but a man as I am: the violet smells to him as it doth to me. William Shakespeare

Sweet are the uses of adversity, Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;

William Shakespeare

Let me embrace thee, sour adversity, for wise men say it is the wisest course. William Shakespeare

What’s in a name? That which we call a rose

By any other name would smell as sweet.

William Shakespeare
