Newbies: Rose by any name—if you did not say it, source it

Dear Newbies,

Are you a blogger or writer for commercial purposes? If your answer is yes, I have something to tell you. If you write for a website that pays you, irrespective of the amount you get for your work, you must know this.
 
You said yes, you’re a blogger, so I believe you use images, quotes, and other useful information from outside sources in your posts. Everyone does that because, without useful information, supporting images and sometimes quotes help convey your message more effectively.

For instance, if I say, “Rose by any name is still a rose,”

ᵀʰᶦˢ ᶦᵐᵃᵍᵉ ᶦˢ ᵐᶦⁿᵉ

I can say that because that’s a fact, but then I know I did not say that! Then who said that?

Yes, if I remember right, the great poet Shakespeare said this. Not exactly these same words, but almost the same.

What should I do now? If I were you, I would immediately mention his name to enhance the beauty of my blog and not get branded as a plagiarizer too.

How? If I say this,“Rose by any name is still a rose.” Did I copy Shakespeare? I think not, but what I said was almost the same as what he said, so I will mention that originally Shakespeare had said that.

I know a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but wait, I did not say that too, but it's again from William Shakespeare’s play- Romeo and Juliet.

I believe so, but I am not sure. Not sure, hey come on why? Why you are not sure that this famous phrase comes from William Shakespeare? I will tell you later with proper reference!

Note: Part of it is taken from-
Wikipedia

“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” - William Shakespeare

I read on a website, "Probably Shakespeare said it, but that’s not a fact," not established at least!!!

What??? So, does that mean I can use it as my line? Absolutely not, because as soon as you say that, someone will laugh or shout from the crowd, Shakespeare!

But where did you read that?

‘Probably Shakespeare did not say that!'

My answer is I read it in Wikipedia. But in Wikipedia it has so many versions.s it's difficult to find out. You can probably find it there and if you go deeper and probably find it here in the source section.

What did you read?

I said that based on "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet as said by the author in his play "Romeo and Juliet", which is a play by Shakespeare but that is not an established fact, not yet. So, I will write it like this and save myself from being labeled as a plagiarizer.

Then can I say it like this: "That the name of something does not affect its character?" I can say that, but as much as I remember, this is not my line, but I read this on another website's book section.

So, I must tell you the source of what I said, because this was not me that said it originally, but it came from another website—Bookbrowse.com—even if I don't remember the exact name of the book it came from. But I will still mention and source it in the source section of this write-up.

Now, I know I am not Shakespeare, so I will not use this without mentioning him. If I am using this phrase, or even if I have made significant changes in this line, I will mention him.

So, if you are writing for money, source properly or face the music—yes, you guessed it right, I said it.

If you love to watch classical movies, don't forget my suggestion to watch 'What's in a Name...,' but don't forget that it's a bit different from what you watch in classical movies.

If you want to check what it's all about, check on IMDb for the same name in 2009 without thinking about Romeo or Juliet. If you want to check this movie—

Try the movie below to see what it is all about!

Finally, What's in a Name is a perfect example, as you can have any name, but you will always remain what you are!

And yes, there is something in a name if I love it from the core of my heart—Rose!
