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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“it is said that the rule establishing the incompetency of a juror to impeach the verdict is a rule of public policy, and on that ground he should not be heard ... It does not follow that because a rule is founded on public policy it ... cannot be waived ... But where the rule is equally for the protection of the individual affected there is no reason why he should be compelled to take its benefit in spite of his desire not to invoke it.”
