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.

J.r.r. Tolkien
About This Quote

All that is gold doesn't glitter. It's like the way a person's heart shines as their soul shines through. It may not be as flashy as diamonds, but it is more beautiful and valuable than those gems. If you spread out your heart and soul to those around you and they love and accept that you are exactly who you are, then that's gold.

You don't need fancy things or wealth or fancy cars to be loved and accepted. It all starts with your heart and soul shining through to those around you.
