A person with fine of clay is a person who is admirable in most respects but has a vital weakness. The phrase was coined in The Bible when Nebuchednezzar dreamt of a beautiful metal statue with feet of clay. Daniel interpreted the dream to mean that his kingdom of Babylon was generally strong but had a fatal flaw.
Someone with feet of clay has a hard time getting started on a task or project.
