I don't think those answers are right. I cannot remember Shakespeare writing it in those words. This is a poem so it's not Midas either. All That Is Gold Does Not Glitter is a poem from The Lord of the Rings = by Tolkien

» Answer from Jean Horst Answer given 1 year 141 days ago.

Greg is right, it is part of a "prophecy" from The Lord of the Rings trilogyby J.R.R. Tolkien. In a letter from Gandalf the wizard to the hobbits predicting the nature of the King. The first stanza...

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I love those lines.
