It means not all things that can be touched and quantified matter (material goods) and that not all things that truly matter can be quantified or measured (love, hope, etc.).

It just means that just because something has value or is important, doesn't mean that it can be measured. And at the same time, just because something can be counted or measured, doesn't mean that it is valuable or important. It's similar to "All that glitters is not gold and all that is gold does not...

And at the same time, just because something can be counted or measured, doesn't mean that it is valuable or important. It's similar to "All that glitters is not gold and all that is gold does not glitter." (Not exactly the same, but similar.) For example, happiness cant be "counted" but it is indescribably important. Stones can be measured in number and weight, but it doesn't mean that it has any value. read less

Not everything that can be counted counts and vice versa eg in reverse order from the way something has been stated; the other way around: She dislikes me, and vice versa.

First part: The number of breaths you take can be counted, but hardly count as anything unless you LIVE them! Second part: The love of your family matters (counts), but cannot be quantified in terms of money or other material goods.

I am in a place called Kannamangalam.  What is the correct usage? 'I am in Kannamangalam' or ' I am at Kannamangalam'. 

Why modern-day writers have discarded using 'at' for villages. 
Since "Kannamangalam" is a place, you need to use 'in'. Using 'at' will make your sentence sound off. So, you should say, "I am in Kannamangalam".
