Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘The term “cause of action” is used with many different meanings. * * * Such a term leads to confusion rather than clearness of thought. * * * The rule would be much more definite and understandable if we omitted from consideration entirely the question of whether a new cause of action had been imported, rather than to enlarge the meaning of the term “cause of action”.’ “ ‘ * * * amendments should be liberally allowed in the interest of' justice whenever it will aid in settling an entire controversy. The limitations thereon should be whether the matters' involved are such as can b.e conveniently and effectively handled in one trial without injury to substantive rights’.””
