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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

But, while the compensation is to be liberal, it must not be extravagant, in view of the aotual service rendered and the actual danger encountered.””
