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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

Laible v. Ferry, 32 N. J. Eq. 791. See, also, Altheimer v. Hunter, 56 Ark. 159 ; Lucht v. Behrens, 28 Ohio St. 231 ."”
