'Tis an old maxim in the schools,
That flattery's the food of fools;
Yet now and then your men of wit
Will condescend to take a bit.
Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)
Is accepting a compliment gracefully the same as condescending to flattery?
When we are inspired to act and as a result we have accomplished something great how do we accept the thanks and gratitude of others knowing that the inspiration was divine?

Divert the compliment to the one who deserves it. :)
I always feel embarassed when people thank me for anything. I am more than happy to give credit to someone else.
Even if the people don't know you were inspired, you know you were, and can "pass it along." :D
