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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[I]f the owner knowingly keeps a mean or vicious beast, he is liable for injuries to another who has been invited to the premises where the animal is kept, or to a person whom the owner has allowed to use the horse without first having been advised of its vicious proclivities, (citations omitted.) But the owner of a horse is not liable for injuries caused to another while riding or driving the animal with the owner’s permission if the latter has no knowledge of his animal’s untrustworthiness, or if the user knows of the latter's vices.” (Citations omitted; emphasis added.)”
