The original: "The love of money is the root of all evil" is the English translation of the original Greek. Or actually it is: "The root of all evil is the love of silver," if you want to get explicitly literal. The important thing to understand is that Greek is not English, and Greeks do not think like the English. In the Greek philosophy of communication, "all" does not mean the same thing that it does in the English philosophy of communication.
When an English speaker says "all," we mean that there are no exclusions of any sort. If we say "the love of money is the root of all evil." we mean that ALL evil is rooted in the love of money with no exceptions. When a Greek speaker says the same thing, he does not necessarily mean that ALL evil is from that root. He frequently is trying to say "all kinds" rather than "all" as an English speaker would understand it. Consider, many sins are not rooted in the love of money (adultery, fornication, lying, idolatry, drunkenness, etc).
The Hebrew Old Testament also has the same issue in many places.
