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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The state does not maintain courts on the same theory that public parks and playgrounds are maintained — for the mere entertainment and recreation of those who choose to use them. Courts are instituted to deal with the serious controversial matters of men, for the vindication of substantial rights and the redress of substantial wrongs which men cannot settle amicably without the help and authority of the state.” (p. 686.)”
