Zitat des Tages über Einsätze / Stakes:

If you individualize an audience, it helps up the stakes of your responsibility to that audience. Norbert Leo Butz

The independents who were our fiercest competitors all succumbed to the one-hit-makes-you-a-genius philosophy. It is a mistake to think you have the magic touch. Show business is roulette. If you start to play for stakes you can't afford, there's no way you can survive.

Samuel Goldwyn

Cancer is such a wake-up call to remind us how high the cosmic stakes really are and how short and brief and frail life really is.

Joni Eareckson Tada

Matthew Lillard

When you are 15, everything is such high stakes, even tiny things. I think because of that, it is funny but sad at the same time.

Sophie Wu

In the Army, because the stakes are so high - right? - you can't just be a yes-man and say, 'Great idea, boss!' if you don't believe it - right? - because lives are at stake. And the commanders that I've worked for, they want frank assessments; they want criticism and feedback.

H. R. McMaster

I'm not in the Shakespeare stakes. I have no ambition.

Ian Fleming

An adversarial family law system raises the stakes unnecessarily high, exacerbates the antagonism of the couples concerned, and is directly responsible for making it impossible for couples who would otherwise have reconciled to do so.

Louis de Bernieres

'Zero Dark Thirty' raised the stakes. It raised the stakes in cinema, man. I don't think people really know how to grasp what type of film this is.

Jason Clarke

I've pretty much given up on the orange. I really have. I just don't even bother. It's just either sour, or woody, or the skin's too thick. It's very nice when you come across the perfect orange, because it's really a beautiful experience. But the stakes are too high.

Scott Thompson

I used to sports gamble a lot and I was getting killed on that but then I found poker and really enjoyed it. But it was a hobby more than anything else. I played it every day but only on pretty small stakes.

Chris Moneymaker

Law makes long spokes of the short stakes of men.

William Empson

I'm urging NASA to foster the development of what I call 'runway landers.' No, that's not the name of a high stakes gambler from Vegas. It's a type of spacecraft that flies to orbit like the retiring Shuttles but then glides to a landing like an airplane on a runway. Just like the Shuttles do.

Buzz Aldrin

It doesn't work if the bad guys kill his mother's uncle's friend's neighbor's pet dog. You've got to make the stakes high.

Steven Seagal

We think it will be shortly afterwards, but it seems a terrible thing to gamble with such big stakes in diplomacy without having your master card in your hand.

Henry L. Stimson

Self-dealing, essentially, occurs when managers run companies to line their own pockets instead of those of the companies' owners. It's been a perennial problem in American capitalism and became a real dilemma when America moved toward a model in which corporations would be run by professional managers who had only small ownership stakes.

James Surowiecki

Entrepreneurs are more likely to be successful if they're able to be present while pitching their ideas. It's about maintaining presence during big challenges - very high stakes moments with some component of social judgment. Everyone has them, whether they're entrepreneurs or not.

Amy Cuddy

The Internet is a good way to try some stuff with no big crew and no money being spent. Since there are no stakes to it, you can try to be a little experimental.

Jonathan Krisel

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 G. Neas

University politics are vicious precisely because the stakes are so small.

Henry Kissinger

The reason why I hate working in theatre is the tedium of memorisation. But once that is done, then you feast on this never-ending meal. If you play it correctly, every night is fraught with very high stakes that are very difficult to find in everyday life.

Christopher Meloni

Responsibility for overseeing the implementation of election law typically resides with partisan officials, many with public stakes in the election outcome.

Thomas E. Mann

The emotional stakes a memoirist bets with could not be higher, and it's physically enervating. I nap on a daily basis like a cross-country trucker.

Mary Karr

Baseball is a little bigger gamble than most, and the stakes are pretty high.

Jacob Ruppert

I think that I have less conviction than ever that poetry matters - that poetry changes or saves anything or anyone. But, in fact, that's tremendously freeing. If it doesn't matter much, the stakes are lower and you can't really fail. It's insurrection. It's a tiny alphabet revolution. A secret. A psalm.

Daphne Gottlieb

Making a movie requires 20 to 500 people to make and a lot of money and the stakes are a lot higher.

Alanis Morissette

Nuclear weapons and TV have simply intensified the consequences of our tendencies, upped the stakes.

David Foster Wallace

Big stories need human stakes.

Aaron Swartz

Dove Cameron

Rodents can come across as being quite vacant in the personality stakes.

Julian Clary

I loved musicals because I felt like breaking out in song makes so much sense to me because it's the stakes of how you feel inside!

Love is tested in so many ways. How do I articulate this? Two people are together. There are stakes, strife, struggles, all these things that make us fall for someone, love someone even more, leave someone.

Ian Somerhalder

With the parties at virtual parity and the ideological gulf between them never greater, the stakes of majority control of Congress are extremely high.

Thomas E. Mann

The stakes in conflict do not change. Battle determines who will control the wealth or its equivalent.

Where the stakes are the highest, in the war on terror, we cannot possibly succeed without extraordinary international cooperation. Effective international police actions require the highest degree of intelligence sharing, planning and collaborative enforcement.

Barack Obama
