"Monks, if anyone should speak in disparagement of me, of the Dhamma, or of the Sangha, you should not be angry, resentful or upset on that account. If you were to be angry or displeased at such disparagement, that would only be a hindrance to you. For if others disparage me, the Dhamma or the Sangha, and you were angry or displeased, can you recognize whether what they say is right or not?"...

"If others disparage me, the Dhamma or the Sangha, then you must explain what is incorrect as being incorrect, saying: 'That is incorrect, that is false, that is not our way, that is not found among us.'

"But, monks, if others should speak in praise of me, of the Dhamma or of the Sangha, you should not on that account be pleased, happy or elated. If you were to be pleased, happy or elated at such praise, that would be a hindrance to you. If others praise me, the Dhamma or the Sangha, you should acknowledge that truth of what is true, saying: 'That is correct, that is right, that is our way, that is found among us.'"

--The Buddha (Digha Nikaya 1.1.5-6)

"Regard him as one who
	   points out
	   treasure,
the wise one who
seeing your faults
	   rebukes you.
Stay with this sort of sage.
For the one who stays
with a sage of this sort,
	   things get better,
	   not worse.
	   
"Let him admonish, instruct,
	deflect you
away from poor manners.
To the good, he's endearing;
to the bad, he's not."

--The Buddha (Dhammapada v. 76-77)
