About the idiom
In short, "All that glitters is not gold" means that not everything that looks precious or true turns out to be so.
The expression originated in or around the 12th century, and may date back to Aesop. The Latin is Non omne quod nitet aurum est. However, the current form of the idiom, which employs the word "glister" rather than "glitter", comes from William Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice".
The idiom was since referenced in Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring, Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven, Bob Marley's Get up, stand up, and many more including Marylin Manson who turned it into "All that glitters is cold".
