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.
“"Where a vessel, soon after leaving port, becomes leaky, without stress of weather, or other adequate cause of injury, the presumption is that she was unsound before setting sail. The law will intend the want of seaworthiness, because no visible or rational cause, other than a latent or inherent defect in the vessel, can he assigned for the result. But, where if satisfactorily appears that the vessel encountered marine perils which might well disable a staunch and well-manned ship, no such presumption can be invoked. And where, for a considerable time, she 1ms encountered such perils, and shown herself staunch and strong, any such presumption is not only overthrown, but the fact of her previous seaworthiness is persuasively indicated.””
