Writer's inspiration in Latin - can you translate it?

An estate sale for George Christian, former press secretary to President Lyndon Johnson, provided me a beautifully hand-calligraphied desk sign in Latin. Mr. Christian was also a writer, and it would be fun to know the meaning of a phrase that so inspired him. I checked online translation functions and dictionaries, but it's difficult and I can only find a few words.

Anyone out there who can translate? Are some of the words feminine gendered?

Omnia numquam tan aspera sunt quam videntur.

Thanks!
