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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is abundantly established that one who enters upon the premises-by permission only, without invitation, enticement or allurement held out to him by the occupier or owner or some representative thereof, enters there, at the very best, by mere permission, becomes a licensee only and enjoys the license at his own risk, or as it has been well said, he enjoys the license with its concomitant perils and takes upon himself whatever risk from pitfalls or other obstructions that may attend such merely permissive entry and in such case, no duty is imposed by law upon the owner or occupier to keep the premises in a suitable condition for those who go there solely for their own convenience or pleasure or to satisfy their curiosity.””
