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 60 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““From the authorities referred to, the conclusion seems inescapable that the duty devolves upon the court ‘at any time’ the jurisdictional question is presented to proceed no further until that question is determined. It can not be conferred by agreement,- consent or collusion of the parties, whether contained in their pleadings or otherwise, and a party can not be precluded from raising the question by any form of laches, waiver or estoppel. So, in the instant case, if the parties jointly or singly had consented or agreed to jurisdiction, it would have been of no avail in face of the fact that the question was forcibly and directly called to the attention of the court. The answer of the defendant conceding jurisdiction amounted to- no more than consent, and as seen, jurisdiction- can not be thus conferred irrespective of whether the consent was the result of an honest mistake or otherwise."”
