They are all co-supportive of each other. The importance of one is based on the strength and balance of the others. Since we are not all the same, the balance of importance can shift for each individual. While some travel life on hope and faith, others are driven by wisdom and knowledge. Likewise, the weakest may also vary.
Love is not always the strongest. Sometimes wisdom will help one walk away.

They are interdependant. Perhaps faith is strongest, if one differentiates it from mere "belief". Belief implies assumptions and expectations; both can be disproved, and belief destroyed. But faith makes no assumptions, or expectations; it is simply a kind of entrustment to the universe, retaining autonomy and accepting the consequences. So I think it is strongest. After it, hope, which empowers decision and action. Both faith and hope require courage ... which is also essential to seeking wisdom, which requires humility. All these are stronger than love, because all are vital to truly loving. For most people love is the weakest, because they use it as a crutch, and fall when they percieve it's broken. But again, real love, which puts other before self whilst still valueing self, is powerful beyond all things when it enlists all the other characteristics. Then it is unbreakable because it is not possessive, or dependant.

First of all I wold like to express my sincere compliments for all of your questions!
If I have to choose one of the listed I would choose Faith, because I think one way or another Faith contains the rest. If you believe than you have Hope and it takes Courage and Wisdom to keep the hope and the faith no mater what. The connection with the Humility is a little bit difficult to point so I will choose it as the weakest.

I think if you have humility - you are able to make the biggest self-grow , and with humility comes the courage , i think the weakest is hope cause you dont need this when you have wisdom , you just live the life happily.

Faith (for it is included in love) is the strongest. The weakest? I don't know... Does it have to be a weakest link? Then, I would say, humility, because people tend to get cocky pretty easily, this being, actually, a part of our sexual behavior.

I think courage is strongest and hope is weakest.
Active vs. passive, I suppose.
Faith, Hope, Humility, and Wisdom are all dependent upon courage, as well. Courage is the only one that can stand alone.

With love all of the mentioned are gained with love but one, for example
When we love we would have courage to face the world with its ugliness and its purity as well,
we would have faith that the heart is a very lovely thing in which it gave us joy and happiness,
it would give us hope to move on and live everyday with its unknown path that we take,
it would humiliate us, for when we are angry with our loved ones we tend to make a fuss out of something but then say we are sorry (although with love humility is out of the question, because when two persons are in love we cannot be humiliated because we are one person and one heart)
Wisdom???? dont think that love can give us that, love cant give us clarity of mind, because we tend to do stupid things while in love :)
The weakest thing about love, is to love the wrong person and not know that he/she is not the one while all the people beside know he is not Mr.Right.

In order:
Faith: because we all have strong beliefs, whatever they are
Hope: because we all hope that things will turn out the way we want
Courage: because we are often forced to things that require it
Wisdom: because, while wisdom is strong, it is not readily found
Humility: weakest because humans are proud
Personally, i think love comes after faith, because there is so much hate

Wisdom generates love instead of passion, so it's the strongest.
Faith and Hope seem to be the same, but the first is blind, and the second points to a desire of the heart.
Courage depends on the moment, sometimes pushed by a sudden burst of the spirit.
Humility is also generated by Wisdom, because it means self-knowledge; however, is may hide the opposite, pride.

All are essential. They are not comparable. They are not of different things. They are of the same human.
Love implies faith, hope, courage, humility and wisdom.
Faith implies love, hope, courage, humility and wisdom.
Courage implies Faith, Hope, Humility and Wisdom.
Humility implies Faith, Hope, Courage, and Wisdom.
Wisdom implies Faith, Hope, Courage, and Humility.
All are essential.
