"All his geese are swans!"

Question

Hi all,

How can I translate the following expression into Spanish: "all his geese are swans!"?

This expression refers to someone who constantly exaggerates the importance of somebody or something. Example: "Don't let him impress you. He always exaggerates; all his geese are swans!"

Thank you,

Carole

Answer 1

todos sus gansos son cisnes.

It could work in Spanish. I really don´t know if you have an equivalent idiomatic expression.

I have my doubts

Answer 2

Hi, Carole!

I'd say that it's something like,

"No es oro todo lo que reluce"
