How about this line from “H.M.S. Pinafore,” the operetta by Gilbert & Sullivan:
“Things are seldom what they seem.”
The song goes on to give a number of examples:
“Skim milk masquerades as cream.”
“All that glitters is not gold.” (that’s borrowed from Shakespeare)
“Storks turn out to be but logs.”
“Gild the farthing if you will, yet it is a farthing still.”
