"All that glitters is not gold" means that not everything that glitters is gold. Some things that glitter are, of course, gold, but not all things.

There really is no definite answer because this is a matter of personal style and flavor. Saying 'some' instead of 'all' might mean the same thing, but it wouldn't sound as poetic in my opinion.
