Hi,
'All' is used here to mean 'every thing' that shines brightly/sparkles isn't necessarily gold. In other words you should not be impressed by outward appearances, especially if they are too bright.

Hi Fine,
You've probably heard of Shakespeare's play "All's well that ends well"?

Hi Alan,
what about the [All] in the following sentence:
"All people are good."
Does it mean [Every]?

Hi Torsten,
yes, I have heard that idiom many times before, but there comes many different explanations. Some said that it means [A good beginning is half done.] Is that true?

Hi,
'All people are ...' Here 'all' is used as an adjective describing people.

| Usage of "too" and "even" | any excuse good enough to make it surge into public view |
