It means not all things that can be touched and quantified matter (material goods) and that not all things that truly matter can be quantified or measured (love, hope, etc.).

Also, in a more scientific sense, it means that not all of reality is visible to us. There are certain aspects, which are not unimportant, but are not accessible to humans despite any advancements in technology, due to either the nature of the human mind or the design of science itself. It links the importance of the qualitative and the quantitative in science too.
