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.
“Equitable relief will not be granted to a party against a judgment because of good ground (even) of defense of which he was ignorant till after judgment rendered, unless he shows that by the exercise of reasonable diligence he could not have discovered such defense in time for the trial, or that he was prevented from the exercise of such diligence by fraud or surprise on the part of the opposing party, or by accident or mistake unmixed with the negligence on his part.”
