Quote by William Shakespeare

Everything that gristles is not gold.

Everything that gristles is not gold.

Summary

This quote is a play on words, with a slight alteration of the common phrase "all that glitters is not gold." It suggests that not everything that appears promising or valuable on the surface is necessarily of true worth or quality. Just as not all shiny things are made of gold, this quote cautions against making judgments or assumptions based solely on outward appearances or initial impressions. It serves as a reminder to exercise discernment and look beyond superficial attributes when assessing the true value or worthiness of something or someone.
