Our quoteland has it attributed to Confucius as well:

However, I could not find a source.

"Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
-The Bible - Matthew 26:39-41 :: King James Version (KJV)

Thanks a lot for this; I knew it was a famous quote, but for some reason it didn't come up when I searched quoteland. Obviously I still have a lot to learn on how to use the site!
Thanks again,
