Frank Underwood words to live by from imdb.com:- There are two kinds of pain. The sort of pain that makes you strong, or useless pain. The sort of pain that's only suffering. I have no patience for useless things.
- The nature of promises, Linda, is that they remain immune to changing circumstances.
- After all, we are nothing more or less than what we choose to reveal. What I am to Claire is not what I am to Zoe, just as Zoe is not to me what she is to her father.
- There's no better way to over power a trickle of doubt then with a flood of naked truth.
- I have zero tolerance for betrayal, which they will soon indelibly learn.
- Such a waste of talent. He chose money over power - in this town, a mistake nearly everyone makes. Money is the Mc-mansion in Sarasota that starts falling apart after 10 years. Power is the old stone building that stands for centuries.
- They talk while I imagine their slightly salted faces frying in a skillet.
- What a martyr craves more than anything is a sword to fall on. So, you sharpen the blade, hold it at just the right angle, and then... 3,2,1...
- A great man once said, everything is about sex. Except sex. Sex is about power.
- [ending a bathroom squabble] I know you take a lot of pride in your manhood, Bob, it's impressive. But as big as it is, Linda can still shut the door on it.
- It's so refreshing to work with someone who'll throw a saddle on a gift horse rather than look it in the mouth.
- Treading water is the same as drowning for people like you and me.
- What you have to understand about my people is that they are a noble people. Humility is their form of pride. It is their strength; it is their weakness. And if you can humble yourself before them they will do anything you ask.
- I may have pushed him too far, which is worrisome. Friends make the worst enemies.
- From this moment on you are a rock. You absorb nothing, you saying nothing, and nothing breaks you.
- You're not offering cooperation, you demanding tutelage. So let me make *you* a proposal. I am absolutely willing to work together as equals. I will take your opinions seriously, just as the president does. But I will not bind myself to them in advance. If that doesn't interest you, fair enough. Good luck finding a vice president in the next four days who will prove as pragmatic as I. You can't purchase loyalty Raymond. Not the sort I have in mind. If you want to earn my loyalty, then you have to offer yours in return. And if we can agree to that - well, you're a man with imagination.
