From the song "Stairway To Heaven."  There's a lady who's sure, all that glitters is gold... so, she believes a falsehood, but one that guides her nonetheless. This is a sardonic or dark spin on the age old saying that "all that is gold does not glitter."

Get the all that glitters is goldmug. A line from Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven", and since no one really knows what that song means, no one really knows what "all that glitters is gold" means either.
