Jim Clyburn actually said...

"Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in an expression of appreciation for the life and service of Congressman Don Payne and to keep him and his family in our thoughts and prayers."

"I often quote the poet Robert Frost, who once admonished us that two roads diverged in the wood, and I picked the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."

"Don didn't wait for a codel of a lot of people to be organized to go to a troubled spot."

"If Donald Payne is not there, that door must be locked and the rest of us can give up."
