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.

““Torts may be divided into two general classes — the first, designated as ‘property torts,’ embracing all injuries and damages to property, real or personal; the second, known as ‘personal torts,’ including all injuries to the person, whether to reputation, feelings, or to the body. A tort which is not an injury to property is a personal tort.””
