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 50 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Failure of the appellant to take any of the farther steps to secure the review of the judgment appealed from does not affect the validity of the appeal, but is ground only for such remedies as aré specified in this rule or, when no remedy is specified, for such action as the Supreme Court deems appropriate, which may include dismissal of the appeal.” (Italics supplied.)”
