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.
“The fact that [the parolee] here chose not to avail himself of such assistance is his own doing. And, we are not inclined to encourage incarcerated litigants to proceed pro se by holding that more lenient rules for filing deadlines should be applied to them. Finally, even if this Court wished to follow Houston , it has no authority to adopt a rule which is in direct contravention with Pa.R.A.P. 1514, a rale promulgated by our own Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Any such revision of that rale would have to come from the court which promulgated it.”
