3 the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak
Since then I have written many other books; and though ceasing my methodical study of the old masters (for though the spirit is willing, the flesh is weak), I have continued with increasing assiduity to try to write better. (W. S. Maugham, ‘The Summing Up’, ch. 10) — С тех пор я написал еще много книг. И хотя я перестал систематически изучать старых мастеров (дух бодр, плоть немощна), но всегда и все с большим усердием старался писать лучше.

8 the flesh is weak
плоть немощна [часть выражения the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak; см. the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak]See you, one should not ask for outside proof - no, reason should be enough. But the flesh is weak, it is consolation to find that one is on the right track (A. Christie, ‘The Mysterious Affair at Styles’, ch. X) — Видите ли, можно было бы и не искать каких-нибудь еще доказательств. Вывод напрашивается сам собой. Но слаб человек. Как приятно еще раз убедиться, что ты на верном пути.
