罗素《论被虐狂》：
These illustrations suggest four general maxims, which will prove an adequate preventive of persecution mania if their truth is sufficiently realized. The first is: remember that your motives are not always as altruistic as they seem to yourself. The second is: don't over-estimate your own merits. The third is:don't expect others to take as much interest in you as you do yourself. And the fourth is: don't imagine that most people give enough thought to you to have any special desire to persecute you. I shall say a few words about each of these maxims in turn.
这些譬喻牵引出四条概括的格言，如果这些格言底真理被澈底明了的话，大可阻止被虐狂的出现。第一条是：记住你的动机并不常常像你意想中的那么舍己达人。第二条是：切勿把你自己的价值估得太高。第三条是：切勿期望人家对你的注意，像你注意自己一样关切。第四条是：勿以为多数的人在密切留神你，以致有何特殊的欲望要来迫害你。我将对这些格言逐条申说几句。
