: Do you know the origin of the phrase' "don't hide your light under a bushel"?
That's from the Christian Bible, Matthew 5:15. This is how it's rendered in the King James Version:
"Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house."
