In real life, unlike in Shakespeare, the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears. Things are not only what they are. They are, in very important respects, what they seem to be.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
You can't have a light without a dark to stick it in.
