罗素《竞争》：
although money in itself may not suffice to make people grand, it is difficult to be grand without money.
金钱本身虽不足使人伟大，但没有金钱确乎难于伟大。
原文：
Consequently all the snobbish emotions become more restless than they are where the social order is fixed, and although money in itself may not suffice to make people grand, it is difficult to be grand without money. Moreover, money made is the accepted measure of brains. A man who makes a lot of money is a clever fellow; a man who does not, is not. Nobody likes to be thought a fool. Therefore, when the market is in ticklish condition, a man feels the way young people feel during an examination.
因此，一切势利的情绪，远较社会阶级固定的地方为活跃，并且金钱本身虽不足使人伟大，但没有金钱确乎难于伟大。再加挣钱是测量一个人的头脑的公认的标准。挣一笔大钱的人是一个能干的家伙；否则便是蠢汉。谁乐意被认为蠢汉呢？所以当市场动荡不稳时，一个人的感觉就像青年人受考试时一样。
