- Speaker Ryan: "Our prayers have been answered... The chair wishes to mark the return to the chamber of our dear friend and colleague from Louisiana, Mr. Steve Scalise."
- "All I remember are the thousands of acts of kindness and love and warmth that came out of this," said Scalise. I am definitely a living example that miracles really do happen."
- "It's so important that as we have those political battles, we don't make them personal."
- Other world leaders "cared about my well-being, but more than that, they saw this as an attack on all of us."
