11. All that glitters is not gold?

Most people take as a quote from Shakespeare "All that glisters (glitters) is not gold" but the prase was first found from the 12th century French thelogian Alain de Lille who wrote 'Do not hold everything gold that shines like gold'.


Eve,

:drunk: :dance: :night:

Show me the way to go home, I'm tired and I want to go to bed.

[Eve]

You will always hear me crooning this ditty
Indicate etc....

I'll second that, We might seem old to some of the younger members but as a lesson to them, we can still feel young at heart.

[Sacred Eyes]
