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.
““Where the material evidence from the lips of unimpeached witnesses is non-conflicting and could lead honest, disinterested, and reasonable men to but one conclusion, there are no factual matters to be resolved which call for the intervention of a jury. Such facts await only a court to announce their effect in law. Pennsylvania R. Co. v. Chamberlain, 288 U.S. 333 , 53 S.Ct. 391 , 77 L.Ed. 819 ; Troutman v. Mutual Life Ins. Co., 6 Cir., 125 F.2d 769, 772, 773 .””
