And wit's the noblest frailty of the mind.

Thomas Shadwell

Love's but a frailty of the mind, When 'tis not with ambition joined.

William Congreve

Love's but the frailty of the mind, When 'tis not with ambition joined; A sickly flame, which if not fed expires; And feeding, wastes in self-consuming fires.

William Congreve

The forest did not tolerate frailty of body or mind. Show your weakness, and it would consume you without hesitation.

Tahir Shah

The noblest mind the best contentment has

Edmund Spenser

Cheerfulness prepares a glorious mind for all the noblest acts.

Elizabeth Ann Seton

Prizefighting ain't the noblest of arts and I ain't the noblest artist

Michael Cunningham

The highest spiritual quality, the noblest property of mind a man can have, is this of loyalty.

Algernon Charles Swinburne

John Lancaster Spalding

There are many kinds of love, as many kinds of light, And every kind of love makes a glory in the night. There is love that stirs the heart, and love that gives it rest, But the love that leads life upward is the noblest and the best.

Henry Van Dyke

I'm not sure. But that bless-his/her-heart kind of melancholic humor is among my favorite things in the world. I guess it exposes a kind of humanity - or that's the hope, at least - a kind of grudging respect for human frailty. Unless it's actually kicking human frailty while it's down - I'm not sure.

David Rakoff

The noblest exercise of the mind within doors, and most befitting a person of quality, is study.

William Ramsay

The love of God has been described as the highest, noblest, strongest kind of love and the most joyous to the soul.

Bonnie L. Oscarson

I don't mind . . . the fun and games of being treated like a fragile flower. But as a physiologist working with the unromantic scientific facts of life, I find it hard to delude myself about feminine frailty.
