《菜根谭·评议》
毁谤他人的人不美善，但承受他人毁谤的人遭遇一番讥讪毁谤就增加一番修身反省，可以去除邪僻而增加美善；欺侮他人的人不是福，但承受他人欺侮的人遭遇一番横祸厄运就增长一番器识气宇，可以转变祸患而成为幸福。
毁人者不美，而受人毁者遭一番讪谤便加一番修省，可释回而增美；欺人者非福，而受人欺者遇一番横逆便长一番器宇，可以转祸而为福。
It is not good to slander others, but those who suffer from slander add to their self-cultivation and反省 every time they are slandered, which can remove evil and add to goodness; it is not a blessing to bully others, but those who suffer from bullying gain a lot of knowledge and spirit, which can turn misfortune into happiness.
