Culture vulture ordsprog

Our last act of charity was with the vulture. That's the tradition that we have grown up to follow, and that tradition has come under threat. When you look at most cultures, the vulture's seen as a scavenger, in a very negative light, whereas to us the vulture's a religious bird because it's... performing a religious service.

I would often spot 25 vulture nests on this road as I came into work. They were as common as crows - no one even bothered to count them. The trees are still there, the habitat is still there, but the birds are not. If you look at the Delhi skies now you don't see a single vulture.

God help thee, old man, thy thoughts have created a creature in thee; and he whose intense thinking thus makes him a Prometheus; a vulture feeds upon that heart for ever; that vulture the very creature he creates.

Herman Melville (1819-1891)

It is impossible for capitalism to survive, primarily because the system of capitalism needs some blood to suck. Capitalism used to be like an eagle, but now it's more like a vulture. It used to be strong enough to go and suck anybody's blood whether they were strong or not. But now it has become more cowardly, like the vulture, and it can only suck the blood of the helpless. As the nations of the world free themselves, the capitalism has less victims, less to suck, and it becomes weaker and weaker. It's only a matter of time in my opinion before it will collapse completely.

The purpose of the scholarship is to bridge the (culture) gap. I know he will bring our culture to Australia, and some of their culture back to us. When we interviewed him, Ted had that international flair (that the Rotary Club looks for). I have watched him grow from a shy man into a leader and confident young man.

I started all over again on page 1, circling the 262 pages like a vulture looking for live flesh to scavenge.

The culture and the spirit of the community and the French culture. And the dancing, of course. But really, the culture.

It's not just the players' culture and coaches' culture that needs to change. It's the officiating culture as well because accepted practices in the past will no longer be accepted.

Culture does not change because we desire to change it. Culture changes when the organization is transformed; the culture reflects the realities of people working together every day.
