This can apply to people‚ places‚ or things that promise to be more than they really are. The expression‚ in various forms‚ originated in or before the 12th century[1] and may date back to Aesop.[2] Chaucer gave two early versions in English: "But all thing which that schyneth as the gold / Ne is no gold‚ as I have herd it told‚" and "Hyt is not al golde that glareth."

Secondly‚ it can mean one’s emotion: the feeling one has after he or she worked vainly. The writer worked as a police officer under the British Empire in Burma‚ where he was hated by many Burman.
