: I know this is a phrase from the Bible. However,
: what does it mean when someone refers to an individual as being "Salt of the Earth?"
My explanation: The "salt of the earth" are the multitude of common, decent hard-working folk. "Everyday" people, unsung heroes. They are vital to our communities. (I think I just made a political speech.)
