Falters Quotes


The majority of people perform well in a crisis and when the spotlight is on them; it`s on the Sunday afternoons of this life, when the nobody is looking, that the spirit falters.

- Alan Bennett

A mother`s love is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking, it never fails or falters, even though the heart is breaking

- Ari Bensinger

In my role as National Ambassador for UNICEF I`ve found that a people, a culture is as good as the stories it tells about itself. Our stories tell us who we think we were, are, and will become. It`s through our stories that we imbue the ethics, morals and values that are key to the survival of a culture and its people. A child asking to be told a story again is reaching for a tool that will serve a lifetime. When a people`s story telling falters they have lost a clear sense of who they are and their world is in decline.
