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

1. ““As already stated, the jurisdiction of the cause of action presented by the -original bill and of the parties thereto cannot be and- is not questioned. Having acquired full and complete jurisdiction of the original cause and the parties thereto, the court cannot be deprived thereof because another party obtains leave to intervene for the assertion of a right to the property which is the subject of the proceeding. If it be necessary for the protection of the rights of a third party that he be heard in the cause pending, he may be permitted to intervene, even though the court would not have, by reason of his being a citizen of the same state with complainant, jurisdiction over an original proceeding between the same parties. Freeman v. Howe, 24 How. 450 , 16 L. Ed. 749 ; Krippendorf v. Hyde, 110 U. S. 276 , 4 Sup. Ct. 27 , 28 L. Ed. 145 ; Phelps v. Oaks, 117 U. S. 236 , 6 Sup. Ct. 714 , 29 L. Ed. 888 .”
