Nietzsche on the psychology of greatness:
A Moral Dimension to the Universe
LFG
"Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor."
- Alexis Carrell
The Age of Fiat is Over
A New Era Begins.
———
There is a new energy rising, and it will open the door to a new age.
The spirit of greatness most manifest in the “Western Man” has been dormant for too long, like a lion at rest, or a bear in hibernation. The parasites and hyenas have become overly confident and arrogant, thinking they can nip at our heels, torment our families and tear down everything beautiful around us, as if we won’t notice.
They’ve confused our tolerance and slumber for weakness. But we are neither weak nor entirely ignorant. We’ve been asleep and overly courteous, tranquilized by a society we helped construct.
But we are coming awake, and getting angry - which is precisely what the bureaucratic class is most afraid of. They know, as we do, deep in our bones, that there has never been a time when the hordes of goblins and trolls were able to stamp out the flame of beauty and virtue.
Each era has its heroes, and this one is no different, bar the magnitude of our potential.

On the importance of courage in life:
Warriors are more than just soldiers
Beauty and power
'Death is our eternal companion. It is always to our left, an arm's length behind us. Death is the only wise adviser that a warrior has. Whenever he feels that everything is going wrong and he's about to be annihilated, he can turn to his death and ask if that is so. His death will tell him that he is wrong, that nothing really matters outside its touch. His death will tell him, I haven't touched you yet.' -- Carlos Castaneda

The difference summed up:
I’d rather an honest asshole to a polite liar.
Power corrupts the weak. For them it’s an “end” - and they use it to force people down to their level (equality)
The strong channel power. For them it’s a means to an end. They use it to climb and compete, thus making everyone stronger, not equal.
Japanese is a warrior poet’s language.
Strong in body = strong in spirit, heart and mind.
This one hits real hard..

Why would it be any different?
Inspired by the Nietzsche quote I posted a few days ago:
