Is it true that weak bases usually contain nitrogen?

The statement that weak bases usually contain nitrogen is a matter of chemical definition and everyday observation, as most weak organic bases (such as amines and nitrogen heterocycles like pyridine or imidazole) derive their basicity from a lone pair of electrons on a nitrogen atom. Therefore, no citation is needed.
