"No todo lo que es oro reluce"
— J.R.R. Tolkien

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, things that are valuable or special don't always look fancy or impressive on the outside. For example, think about a hardworking teacher who doesn't wear expensive clothes or drive a shiny car. This teacher might not seem very remarkable at first glance, but they have a lot of knowledge and care deeply about helping their students succeed. In the same way, an old, worn book from a library might not look like much, but it could hold amazing stories or important information. This saying reminds us that we shouldn't judge things based on their appearance alone. By looking deeper and not just focusing on looks, we can discover hidden treasures and real worth in people and things around us.
