It’s a given that gold glitters. Shakespeare is just pointing out that everything else that glitters doesn’t mean that that thing is gold.

The logically correct saying would be, “Not all that glitters is gold.”
A related statement by a professor on day one is, “Be aware that all of you will not pass this course.” Most likely the professor meant to say, “Not all of you will pass this course,” meaning that at least one student will fail.
Be careful where you put the “not.”
