The phrase "All that glisters is not gold" comes from Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, Act II, Scene VII. In a sub-plot of the play, Portia's dead father has decreed in his will that she is to marry whichever of her suitors correctly picks one of three caskets that contains her portrait. The choices are gold, silver and lead caskets. The Prince of Morocco chooses gold, and when the casket is unlocked finds not her portrait, but a picture of Death with this message in its hollow eye: "All that glisters is not gold; Often have you heard that told. Many a man his life hath sold But my outside to behold. Gilded tombs do worms enfold." The phrase (also written as "All that glitters is not gold") means that a shiny, attractive bauble is not necessarily valuable. "Glisters" was also used by Thomas Gray more than 100 years after Shakespeare. He refers to the death of a favorite cat which was drowned in a goldfish bowl. "Not all that tempts your wand'ring eyes/And heedless hearts, is lawful prize;/Nor all that glisters, gold." The quotation "all that glisters is not gold" comes from the Merchant of Venice
