“All that is gold does not glitter.”

J.R.R. Tolkien

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, valuable things can look ordinary or unimportant on the outside. Just because something doesn't look fancy or special doesn’t mean it isn’t valuable. For example, think about a book with an old, worn-out cover. The cover might not look impressive, but inside, the book could be full of amazing stories or useful information. Similarly, a person might not dress in expensive clothes or have a flashy lifestyle, but they could still be very kind, wise, or talented. The important lesson here is not to judge people or things only by their appearance. Instead, take the time to look deeper—real treasures are often hidden beneath the surface. So, in your life, remember to appreciate and seek out the true value in things and people, even if you can’t see it right away.
