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 46 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"That no man ought to be judge in any case where he has a personal or pecuniary interest is an ancient rule, the strictest observance of which is demanded by public policy and natural justice. This principle is embodied in the constitution [Article V § 11], which declares that no judge shall sit in any case wherein he may be interested. A similar provision is contained in the Revised Statutes [Article 15], superseding all prior statutes with respect to the disqualification of judges. * * *"”
