Michael Kelly: Doug Stamper

Quotes 

• Doug Stamper : Make me your Chief of Staff. You promised. You promised there'd be a place for me here when I was ready.

  Francis Underwood : That was before you fell off the wagon and walked in here with that journal.

  Doug Stamper : I've made mistakes. I've fallen down more than once, and you've always been there to pick me up. But you've been falling down for the past year, too, and you need someone to pick you up this time. It's not Remy. It's not Seth. It's me, Frank.

  Francis Underwood : And how can I know I can ever trust you again?

  Doug Stamper : Because I just lit two million dollars on fire.

• Doug Stamper : God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Keep coming back. It works if you work it.
