en Fame is the spur that the clear spirit doth raise (That last infirmity of noble mind) To scorn delights, and live laborious days
  John Milton

en That thirst (for applause) if the last infirmity of noble minds, is also the first infirmity of weak ones
  John Ruskin

en Poesy was ever thought to have some participation of divineness, because it doth raise and erect the mind by submitting the shews of things to the desires of the mind.
  Francis Bacon, Sr.

en Ambition is the last infirmity of noble minds.
  James Matthew Barrie

en Ambition is the last infirmity of noble minds.
  James Matthew Barrie

en The revolutionary spirit is mighty convenient in this, that it frees one from all scruples as regards ideas. Its hard absolute optimism is repulsive to my mind by the menace of fanaticism and intolerance it contains. No doubt one should smile at these things; but, imperfect Esthete, I am no better Philosopher. All claim to special righteousness awakens in me that scorn and anger from which a philosophical mind should be free.
  Joseph Conrad

en The desire for fame is the last infirmity cast off even by the wise

en For take thy balance if thou be so wise And weigh the wind that under heaven doth blow; Or weigh the light that in the east doth rise; Or weigh the thought that from man's mind doth flow.
  Edmund Spenser

en The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear? / The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.

en Anger is a noble infirmity; the generous failing of the just; the one degree that riseth above zeal, asserting the prerogative of virtue.
  Paul Tillich

en Nothing can be meaner than the anxiety to live on, to live on anyhow and in any shape; a spirit with any honor is not willing to live except in its own way, and a spirit with any wisdom is not over-eager to live at all.
  George Santayana
