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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Defendant's duty to act arose only after he knew or in the exercise of due care should have known that the plaintiff’s intestate was insensitive to danger. Wise v. Tarte, 263 N.C. 237 , 139 S.E. 2d 195 (1964). The doctrine contemplates that if liability is to be imposed the defendant must have a last “clear” chance, not a last “possible” chance to avoid injury.”
