人或毁己,当退而求之于身。若己有可毁之行,则彼言当矣;若己无可毁之行,则彼言妄矣;当则无怨于彼,妄则无害于身。· When you are criticized,you should examine yourself. If you have indeed done something wrong,the criticism is correct;if you have not,the criticism is mistaken. If the criticism is correct,you have no reason to complain; if it is mistaken,it cannot do any harm to you.
(Xiao Yi [Emperor Yuan of Liang,508-554]: The Works of Jinlouzi)
