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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"* * * If the plaintiff had inserted his signature in the blanks on the reverse side of the certificate of ownership, and if he had thereafter intrusted his automobile and the certificate so filled out into the hands of Marks, the defendants might have cause to complain. National Safe Deposit [Saving & Trust] Co. v. Hibbs, 229 U.S. 391 , 33 S.Ct. 818 , 57 L.Ed. 1241 .
