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

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