All That Glitter is not Gold
Introduction :
Many things shine as bright as gold. Though our eyes get attracted towards them, we do not value them only because of their appearance.
Meaning :
The saying ‘all that glitters is not gold’ means that ‘outward appearances are often delusive, and an attractive outer appearance of a person or thing doesn’t always indicate its real nature.’
Origin :
This proverb originates in William Shakespeare’s play ‘The Merchant of Venice’. The concept is very old and is found in works that date back to 1100-1200 A.D. Though there are various ways to saying the same thing, the present form of the proverb is found in William Shakespeare’s work when he says, “all that glisters is not gold”. The word ‘glisters’ is not replaced by ‘glitters’ in common usage.
Explanation :
Gold is a very bright and valuable metal. Its color is yellow and looks very beautiful. The extremely shining object is a delight for our eyes. Gold has many use. It is widely used to make expensive jewelries. It is also used in some live saving drugs. The flakes of gold are now being increasingly used in cosmetic and beauty creams.
