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

Neither the opposite party nor the justice is responsible for it, and he stays away with the full knowledge of the legal consequences. The merits of his case are in no way compromised. If he is unavoidably absent, the misfortune is his, rather than another’s, and usually his right to bring another action is ample protection.””
