FactoidAll that glitters is not gold is a well-known saying, meaning that not everything that looks precious is precious. The expression, in various forms, dates from at least as far as the 12th century. It might even go back as far as Aesop. Shakespeare uses it in the Merchant of Venice - but says 'all that glisters is not gold'
