Where does this quote come from? "You have a gift my friend, don't hide it under a bushel basket!" Any help would be appreciated.
--------------------
The Biblical allusion is that if you have a light, you don't put it under a bushel, you put it on a candlestick. Matthew 5:15, Mark 4:21, Luke 11:33. It's not the exact phrase you've asked, but it's the same imagery. If you put that phrase into a web search surrounded by quotes, you'll find it used on a number of blogs--but none seems to be the originator, and I don't find those precise words in Bartlett's Quotations. So I think it's just a common paraphrase.
