Undeserved praise causes more pangs of conscience later than undeserved blame, but probably only for this reason, that our powers of judgment are more completely exposed by being over praised than by being unjustly underestimated.

不应得的赞扬比不应得的责备更能引起良心的痛苦,但可能只是因为这个原因,我们的判断能力在被过分赞扬时比被不公正地低估时更能完全暴露出来。

Just be quiet and accept the praise.

安静下来,接受赞美。
