Friedrich Nietzsche: "Teh Will to Power" and "Teh Antichrist"

THE WILL TO POWER:
-The man's most fundamental desire, his drive for power, must be checked
-Any society that instinctively gives up war and conquest is in decline
-Democracy represents disbelief in great human beings
-"At bottom we are one and all self-seeking cattle and mob."
-European democracy represents a release of laziness, weariness, weakness
-Rank is determined by power
-Annihilation of decaying races of Europe is needed
-Root of all evil has won
-Degeneration of rulers and ruling classes has caused the worst problems in history
-Single individual can justify existence of whole millennia
-"Not mankind but overman is the goal!"

THE ANTICHRIST
-Good=all that heightens power in man
-Bad=all that proceeds from weakness in man
-Happiness=the feeling of increasing power
-Sympathy for weak is worse than any vice
-Christianity is sympathy for the weak
-Christianity tries to break down higher men
-Christianity is the religion of pity
-All of Christianity is imaginary causes and results
-Christianity destroys courage and will to improve one's situation
