The decision on 'Deal or No deal' is immediate and involves high stakes but it's simple compared with the decision to purchase life insurance. For that, people need information and expert advice to make a choice that will affect their family's well-being for years to come. After all, life is not a game show.
Bob Kerzner
The stakes are too high to not be able to devote every bit of my being into winning this race. But after being in this campaign for over six months, it is very apparent that I will hurt my family and also the ultimate goal of this campaign if I continue in this race. It has come down to a choice between my family obligations and the campaign for Congress and my family will always come first.
Tim Dunn

MGN Digital is constantly striving to offer the very best in online entertainment and we felt that it was essential to partner with a skills gaming company that could deliver a wide range of exciting products and greater opportunities to win high stakes.
Julia Smith
We want to have a better progression of distances. Maybe the Holy Bull will be run at a mile and the Fountain of Youth and Florida Derby are run at 11/8 mile. And maybe, on the same day as the Holy Bull, there's a 61/2-furlong [companion] stakes and on Fountain of Youth day there's a 71/2-furlong stakes.
Scott Savin
If the owners are playing a high-stakes game of chicken, they'd be better off playing it with anybody else in the world besides hockey players. Because of all sports, we're probably the most stubborn, pig-headed players.
Scott Walker
I wouldn't say that we were on top of our game, which gives us room for improvement and things to work on at practice on Monday. The stakes get tougher. You just put that behind and go after the next one.
Laurie Glass
I refused to play this game, so I was punished. But this source game is not only played on Page Six. It is also played for high stakes on Wall Street and in Washington. We've all read how well-known and respected journalists have readily protected top-ranked officials leaking classified information. It makes one wonder: Where does the political reporter end and the political operative begin?
Ron Burkle
If another bidder comes in the stakes could be raised on TWA to where AMR doesn't think it's worth it.
Robert Milmore
I would be very surprised if some of these companies that have stakes in these projects don't already have their lawyers working on lawsuits.
James Williams
God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of the players, (ie everybody), to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.
Neil Gaiman
A lot of different things go into the mix when determining whether or not Roberts is confirmed. The Senate exerts a little more authority when dealing with judges, and the stakes will be higher.
James Mccann
The stakes could hardly be higher. Neither side appears eager for a second war, but the situation is very fragile and to dismiss current tensions as mere saber-rattling would be a serious mistake.
Gareth Evans
The money's going up, the stakes are up, the professionalism's up. The days of doing stuff on a napkin are over.
Alan Miller
He's got another 10 days after tomorrow to run in the Saab (Quality) or Mackinnon (Stakes) to get into the cup. He's a very exciting horse and I think he can do it.
Gai Waterhouse
What a lot of people don't realize is these tests are given in preparation for the 10th-grade GQE. That's the one with the highest stakes for individual students. They have to eventually pass that to graduate.
Linda Stephenson
One thing viewers will be reminded of, the stakes are very high on this island. It's always life and death. They may have been lulled into a sense of security in the past few episodes. That may change again soon.
Daniel Dae Kim
No, he was a grinder. It didn't matter if they were running for $5,000 or a-other-than, or stakes, he was just...he loved the game.
Phillip Thomas

Michael Kimmel
Now you could be in at 65nm, and guess what? At 45nm it's a whole new materials set, and a whole new game, and the people that understand this will be the winners. Incumbents can't rest; the stakes have risen in this industry.
Tom Caulfield
Our greatest concern is anxiety, because that's what blocks performance. It's a high-stakes test. You combine that with all the other things teenagers are dealing with and they need to know they're supported.
Shannon O'brien
We were tied up in Korea; we were worried about the Russians. And, conceivably, they said 'nuclear' because they didn't want him to do anything for India; that this was a way of raising the stakes so high as to make it not an option.
Stephen Cohen
We won't know whether it was the ground or not until we have had a good look at her. She travelled well for a long way and at least it was a better performance than last time. Provided she is okay, the Matron Stakes will be next for her.
Mark Johnston
It takes me an hour or so to knock up an article, so if I can't sell it it's no big deal. But with a novel, you're invested, emotionally, materially and in every way, so the stakes are a lot higher. But novels are a lot more fun to write, no doubt about it.
Tilly Bagshawe
It's funny — I tend to forget that we're even giving a high-stakes test. The conversation evolved here to things beyond that.
Nancy Walser
From my perspective, I think the stakes are just as high for Joseph, but there's still a rivalry there, so it meant something to him. But Ryan came out as the better wrestler, and I congratulate him.
Stephen Nichols
The stakes in this war on terrorism simply couldn't be higher.
Richard Myers

Helmut Panke
He knows now how close he came ... He knows what the stakes are.

Henry Kissinger

Keith Horn
I think the fans have enjoyed it. This is top stakes racing at the highest level.

It is high stakes. This is the big test of the year. The results will help to determine the school's adequate yearly progress.
Patrick Robinson
The voters of Colorado approved limited-stakes gambling in part because they wanted to preserve the historic legacy of the mining towns.
Paul Harris
They acquire a kind of a momentum and we have to blunt that. I would like to see the president talk much more about those kinds of stakes because this is a way to explain what we're contending with, what we're fighting.
Dennis Ross
If the stakes were the same as last year, that would be good.
Gene Rasmussen
A customer service person is usually expected to focus on a specific customer, a specific question, and give the best possible answer, ... If you're raising the stakes on that customer service person and saying, 'Okay, now you have to essentially keep clear in your mind multiple questions,' the risk of either inaccurate or incomplete information being sent to customers rises.
Mark Levitt
Basically, we don't make any secret of the fact that we would make use of opportunities to acquire or take stakes in the property insurance business.
Werner Zedelius
What we're trying to do is make big days bigger. We're supercharging our purses. We are adding $15,000 to each non-stakes race on that day and, if last year was any indication, we should have a huge day.
Rick Hammerle
Young people will typically show up in larger numbers in national elections, when they perceive the stakes to be higher.
David Rebovich
The stakes are so high now because it's a one-game season. You've got to put everything else behind you. Your entire concentration and thought has to be about your team and what you need to do to win that game.
Terry Carroll
In many ways the stakes are higher because the owner is looking you in the eye and trusting you with his or her future. This is their pride and their livelihood; every dollar is meaningful and therefore I find myself going the extra mile for these clients.
Jeremy G. Woods
Our job is to make sure that the public understands the consequences of these cuts so that the people who represent them can determine whether those cuts are acceptable. ... It's going to be fairly comprehensive, fairly aggressive statewide because the stakes are so high.
George Pruitt
Either we'll succeed and have a well-financed development and operations company, or we'll put Frontier in mothballs, and revisit it next year. So the stakes are high for us.
Dave Winer
It just seems as if R.I.M. is headed for a high-stakes gamble with the way they're handling the license dispute. The lower-risk strategy would be just to settle. We're wrestling with what investors should do with the stock given the dispute.
Susan Kalla
This sale is consistently at the top of the lists of stakes winning percentage. And good horses will bring back repeat buyers.
Tom Ventura
I think this really stakes a claim that I'm a champion, ... I'm a competitor. If it means winning by an inch or a mile, I'm there.
Justin Gatlin
It seems like he has stakes in a lot of companies. Sometimes he's very active. Sometimes he's passive. Federal Mogul is a company he's been putting money into, and it hasn't helped the stock price.
Nicholas Lobaccaro
The stakes are high for every production he's going to do there ? because of who he is, because the theater is so high profile. And given that the first season had such a mixed reception, people are going to be looking at every production very closely.
Terri Paddock
There are amazing similarities between Forest Danger and his sire, Forestry . Both horses were extremely fast and both were campaigned by Aaron and Marie Jones. Both are great-looking horses that sold for a lot of money. Forest Danger set a new track record while Forestry set a new stakes record and both were grade 1 winners.
Ben Taylor
It raises the stakes, there's no doubt about that.
Gene Marsh
It's got high stakes and a great urgency. It's sort of like a regular 'Grey's Anatomy' on testosterone and on speed.
Peter Horton
I'd like to see it. It's either a goal or it's not and at least we'd know. It would only take 15 seconds for a decision. Why not when the stakes are so high?
Bobby Charlton
God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of his own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players, to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.

Nobutaka Tada
The quick fix suggested by the district court is completely untested, has never been subjected to any comprehensive legal, medical or administrative review, and represents nothing more than a high stakes experiment with Mr. Morales' constitutional rights hanging in the balance.
John Grele
Springtime in Maryland is always an exciting time. We believe that it will be even more appealing this year as a result of the nature of the program and increases in the stakes.
Lou Raffetto
There's got to be some compromise. The stakes are just too high.
Bruce Flamm
Competing for major companies seems to have evolved into a much higher-stakes game than we are playing. Virginia has never competed for a project of that magnitude, meaning $100 million.
Brett Vassey
That certainly is part of the issue. People have stakes (in the stock market) have noticed these things. If you get to the top quarter or the top 10 percent, then these consumers have mentioned decline in stock market prices much more often.
Richard Curtin
I am seriously worried it could cost us a couple of seats, and as tight as things are in the Legislature, it could cost us a majority. We not only have to promote our candidates, but we also have to let people know what the stakes are and how important it is to vote Republican.
Chuck Denowh
The three stakes for three foreign banks is a way for CL to build partnerships overseas.
Didier Valet
With the market for Portable Media Player (PMP) semiconductors essentially doubling to $6.4 billion in 2009, the stakes in the portable video-processing market are high.
Chris Crotty
With the stakes we are trying to aspire to it is not a job for rookies. We feel we have not taken guys who are over the hill either - which has been the case in the past. We've got guys at the peak of their careers.
Alex Mcleish
When we entered we thought we had a big shot to win. We don't own any of the family, so we weren't looking to get stakes-placed.
Neil Pessin
The stakes are high because there is added pressure on the districts this year not only to include more students, but to do well and to make sure that they show evidence that they have made adequate yearly progress.
Henry Garcia
Conference play is a totally different level of intensity. The stakes are higher. It's hard to put into words how big it truly is.
Tim Sinicki
The Chinese want to diversify their supplies and with the small miners they can get equity stakes that they can't get from the bigger ones like Rio Tinto. If they can get in early, they may be able to lock in supplies at good prices.
Peter Chilton
I let them know that this is a totally different ballgame because the stakes are much, much higher. There are seniors on both teams who don't want their seasons to end, so they are going to play with a lot of heart.
Christina Bradford
Financially-motivated attacks have reached an unprecedented rate. There's an entirely new economy focused on the bartering and purchasing of confidential information. And with the higher stakes, we're seeing professional caliber efforts going into today's threats.
Oliver Friedrichs
We are pleased to work with F+W to expand on this high-stakes concept, offering fantasy players additional options.

Would you convict him on the basis of these lies? ... The stakes are very high: a man's life hangs in the balance and you must be very, very sure.
Charles Gittins
Someone's going to come in given there are a lot of entities with significant financial stakes involved. If this goes to bankruptcy, a lot of people will lose a lot of money.
Michael Missal
There is no doubt that these are real people making real choices for high stakes, and we rarely get to observe such pure decisions.
Richard Thaler
The last time I checked, Utah was not a state that endorses high-stakes gambling.
Kris Kobach
Every murder trial is challenging because the stakes are so high.
Rusty Hills
It's a very high-stakes tactic.
Daniel Mcconchie
The death of chief justice Rehnquist and the president's nomination of John Roberts raises the stakes for the court and the American people exponentially.
Ralph Neas
The U.S. can and should remain strongly engaged internationally, because regional instability will not solve itself. But we must choose our tools very carefully, for the stakes do not allow failure. Power is a finite quantity; if we expend it all over the world, we diminish ourselves.
John Kasich
Four years ago, I didn't realize fully what I was getting myself into. It was all new to me, so after the competition I wasn't depressed about not going to the Olympics. It actually in a lot of ways feels just like this is my first time where I knew what the stakes were going in.
Aaron Parchem
We have one Grade 2 here, and it's always been the signature race in Northern California and we felt it was important to re-establish it as our signature race and make it something special. The S.F. Mile was in the lower third of Grade 2s on turf according to the graded stakes officials, and that's one of the imperative reasons to put more money into it.
Sean Greely
We have always supported the idea of parity management and we stick to it now. Moreover, we see the possibility of inviting a third, foreign partner into the consortium and of redistributing stakes in it accordingly, say, among Ukraine, Russia and Germany, because Germany was brain-father of this proposal.
Alexander Medvedev
The stakes for illegal aliens are higher now. We see more weapons and, at times, you see people shot.
Luisa Deason
I'd like to see it. It's either a goal or it's not and at least we'd know. It would only take 15 seconds for a decision. Why not, when the stakes are so high?
Sir Bobby Charlton
It's really about the people who are already here and their skills, because if the company, for some reason, pulls up stakes, then at least there is some residual value by having improved the job skills of the existing work force.
Marshall Vest
The large and increasing number of uninsured Americans is no longer simply an altruistic concern on behalf of those without health coverage, but a matter of self-interest for everyone, ... The stakes are high both for businesses and for workers who do have health insurance because they bear the brunt of costs for the uninsured.
Ron Pollack
We are delighted to have increased our ownership stake in the Four Seasons Hotel in Damascus. This transaction is firmly in line with our strategy to acquire and consolidate the minority stakes in hotels that we already own.
Sarmad Zok
You know, nothing is more important than education, because nowhere are our stakes higher; our future depends on the quality of education of our children today.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
It's scandalous and demoralizing for teachers. The question of who is scoring the test is important because of its high-stakes nature and the fact that parents don't get to see the test.
Rep. Shelley Vana
We have to offer a stakes program that is not only competitive purse-wise but with grades to attract horses. We have to remain competitive not only statewide but on a national level.
Sean Greely
The stakes are much higher than they used to be.
Michael Butler
The timing is really interesting. China and Iran appear to be collaborating not only for energy development but also to increase the stakes in case sanctions are imposed. This is a subtle message that even if sanctions are passed, you could have limited sanctions without touching upon oil.
Shen Dingli
We are seeing a lot of managers, especially those for whom valuation is really important . . . build up cash stakes that are higher than historical averages. It's something we are seeing some very good managers do right now.
Todd Trubey
I think it really stakes the claim that I'm the champion, ... I run like a champion. I show up big when it's time to show up big.
Justin Gatlin
Motherhood is an especially powerful experience because it involves learning under high-stakes conditions, which is just the sort of learning that drives change in the brain.
Katherine Ellison
The stakes are very high, ... We're telling our American friends: 'We can do it together. We can do Baghdad together. We can do Iraq together. We, the Iraqi people together with the American liberators and the British liberators, we can achieve the task of getting rid of Saddam Hussein and his terrorist allies.' .
Barham Saleh
We have a veteran team that played a challenging schedule, and I think this will prepare us as the stakes get higher in Danville.
Bill Lewit
The stakes keep going up in terms of the need to pass levy issues.
Jonathan Benedict
We are proud to offer this beefed up stakes schedule to our horsemen for our 41st-consecutive season in southwest Louisiana and feel it is certain to be the best ever.
David Yount
One of the unintended consequences of Roe vs. Wade is it stakes everything to viability. Well, viability moves. It's changed. In 1973, viability was a whole lot later. It's been pushed back.
Jeffrey Kahn
Whenever there's money involved, they pick groups of people to test. The stakes are higher.
Allyce Najimy
It definitely changed our strategy. We got a small Derby prep at Laurel, the Miracle Wood Stakes, or we probably wouldn't be here.
Michael Trombetta
This is going to be a for-real campaign for the first time in anyone's memory and the stakes are high.
Lauren Cercone
This is just not a world for amateurs. The stakes are higher for things like health care and retirement plans than jeans or cereal.
Barry Schwartz
This is a particularly competitive race combined with the perception that the stakes are enormously high, and that has instigated all the donating, despite the fact that neither candidate inspires much passion.
Mark Rozell
It's just another game. The stakes don't change.
Cal Cochran
[But the stakes are rather different from those on the Grand Holy Land Pleasure Excursion.] It would be a folly, ... were it not so dangerous.
Robert Pape
These girls in middle school had a couple of opportunities to play against them as well. They had a reputation coming up through middle school. So, our girls are pretty familiar with them. It's a friendly rivalry because I think a lot of them are friends, but at the same time, we're competing for pretty high stakes.
Eric Shelton
I have all the respect in the world for Franklin, they are very tough to beat at home and they always play us hard. We came out a little bit sluggish, but I reminded the girls what stakes they were playing for, and they responded.
Erin Aitken
The stakes were definitely higher on that song. We knew it was special because it was so autobiographical, and we had to get it right. And once we had that song done, it freed us up to do the rest of the album without that burden.
Emily Robison
There's a compelling reason to master information and news. Clearly there will be better job and financial opportunities. Other high stakes will be missed by people if they don't master and connect information.
Everette E. Dennis
The stakes are high. If Kansas gets away with it ... I anticipate that in every state where science standards are up for revision, we are going to be fighting another battle.
