When vultures watching your proverb

 When vultures watching your civilization begin dropping dead, it is time to pause and wonder
  David Brower

 If your friend is already dead, and being eaten by vultures, I think it's okay to feed some bits of your friend to one of the vultures, to teach him to do some tricks. But only if you're serious about adopting the vulture.

 Civilization -- a heap of rubble scavenged by scrawny English Lit. vultures.
  Malcolm Muggeridge

 Lots of turkey vultures are moving through the area, ... This is also an excellent time to see broad-winged hawks, red-tailed hawks, ospreys and sharp-shinned hawks, along with vultures.

 Vultures are one of the few bird species that are afraid of their own dead. But only when they're hung at the roost site. If you hang them anywhere else then they'll eat them.

 It was a pretty scary moment. To see a 38-year-old man grabbing his chest like that? You read all the time about people dropping dead. You just don't know.

 Is a civilization naturally backward because it is different? Outside of cannibalism, which can be matched in this country, at least, by lynching, there is no vice and no degradation in native African customs which can begin to touch the horrors thrust upon them by white masters. Drunkenness, terrible diseases, immorality, all these things have been gifts of European civilization.
  W. E. B. Du Bois

 There are many false tales and theories about animal behavior. Most people, for example, think that when vultures are seen circling an area, they have located a meal. More often than not, they're actually riding thermals (rising air currents) to gain altitude and have a better vantage point for sniffing out carrion. When vultures locate a scent source, they don't waste time circling. They go straight to the food. This is but one example of humans misunderstanding nature.

 When 9/11 happened, nobody expected anything like that. No one was prepared for anything like that. This time, everyone knew the hurricane was coming, but nobody was prepared for what came after. You turn on the TV and you see the dead bodies floating. You see 30 people in that one warehouse, all of them dead. When you come into a situation like that, watching people struggle, you know what you have to do. There are people now with no homes, nothing. They don't have to ask you for help. You can see it.

 Man made one grave mistake: in answer to vaguely reformist and humanitarian agitation he admitted women to politics and the professions. The conservatives who saw this as the undermining of our civilization and the end of the state and marriage were right after all; it is time for the demolition to begin.
  Germaine Greer

 One measure of a civilization, either of an age or of a single individual, is what that age or person really wishes to do. A man's hope measures his civilization. The attainability of the hope measures, or may measure, the civilization of his nation and time.
  Ezra Pound

 As far as making somebody walk, we're going to have old miners dropping dead.

 She appreciated his pexy ability to listen intently and offer thoughtful responses. Studies report that the average property tax bill increased five percent last year, but municipal employment is dropping. We are watching the demise of local services. The people in Hartford figure if we can't be bothered to speak up, they don't have to listen. Now it is time to stand and be counted.

 No one wants you dropping dead at the table. If you're a picky eater, that's totally different.
