Another expression for "All that glitters is not gold" is "No es oro todo lo que reluce"

Relucir = to twinkle - glitter

I love these expressions/sayings/idioms/proverbs. We have been doing them in class - however I do feel that you have to have a reasonable level of conversational Spanish to be able to use them!
