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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Rendition of judgment is one thing, and a judgment may not be modified, on simple motion to modify, after lapse of the term. Journal entries are something else, and may be correct or incorrect. Correction of a journal entry purporting to recite what the court did, to make the journal entry show what the court actually did, may be made after lapse of the term at which judgment was rendered.” (p. 541.)”
