All that glisters is not gold

[غــــــرور]

Shakespeare once said , in one of his famous plays

All that glisters is not gold

..

http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2005/04/28/glisters_c.jpg
This is written in very old English and means

"All those shines are not gold."

And this tale is quite famous also in Arabic


(( ليس كل ما يلمع ذهباً )) .............

The phrase simply means that just because something
may look valuable, desirable or attractive, it does NOT
mean that it definitely will be worth having once you
discover its true nature. So basically, don't rely on the superficial.

...........

Why all things appear on the surface to be of great value
Always be ( quite ) worthless .........


…… how meaningless life is ….






Wish you enjoyable reading ,, and I do care a bout your comments

thank you, my sister and welcome to the forum. we will be waiting for you rich posts.

a very important proverb that all of us should understand and make use of. not all things that have a marvellous appearence are worth admiration and searching for.


However, i think that you have typing mistake rgarding the verb "glisters" which should be glitters

[CHARLES DICKENS]

don't rely on the superficial

The most horrible fact is ..........everyone now does
!!!!

Why do we always get impressed by everything's ornamented figures whithout caring muct about the inner Core
!!

Life sometimes becomes meaningless

Bro Alraad .............glister has the same meaning of glitter..check your dictionary dude

Amazing ..


AL Harbi ,trust me your passing pleased me most

Fona , you've got it well , however it's not a poem



Alraad , ya you may call it a proverb ,and I think ,for my point of view ,that all shiny objects
Actually worth affection unless you they prove their worthless

And for (glister) , I said by the beginning that it's originally an old English ,Shakespearean
style actually , and ya you can find glister in the dictionary as a synonym of sparkle + glitter , and
basically it's in one part of Shakespear's play ..The Merchant Of Venice
hope you have patient while reading this



And Charles Dickens , what a valued name not …> relying on the superficial by the way
I totally agree , plus ,for me, life is always meaningless .. almost
Plus ,congratulation for your good English



Dear friends , the whole idea is all about (the wisdom of choosing

deeply appreciate
Your concerning .. my great thanx
