ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD 

It means that what may seem perfect is not all it's hyped up to me. And vice verca.
Take the life of a celebrity for example - It may seem like they live a good life; but in reality they are constantly hounded for autographs and have no privacy.So most people would say " all that glitters is not gold."

all that 

Superior. Admired. A cut above. Possessed of the qualities envied by one's peers. Most often encountered when one guest on Jerry Springer feels another to have too high an opinion of themselves.
"She thinks she's all that, but she ain't."

All That Remains 

A metalcore band from Western Massachusetts. They put on a great show and have some sick guitar and screaming. They are truly epic.
Person 1: Have you ever heard All That Remains?
Person 2: No..who are they?
Person 1: A sick metalcore band *plays "This Calling"*
Person 2: Holy crap.

all that glitters is gold

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."
