《围炉夜话·第五八则》
听到他人对自己有赞美的言语，就更加勤奋勉励；听到他人毁谤自己的话，要更加留意自己的言行，这是有道德的人修养自己的功夫。
闻人誉言，加意奋勉；闻人谤语，加意警惕，此君子修己之功也。
When you hear others speaking words of praise for oneself, become even more diligent and self-motivated; when you hear others slandering oneself, pay even greater attention to one's own words and actions. This is the way in which a moral person cultivates oneself.
