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.

“* * * It will be recalled that February 17, 1932, the defendant was held by the district court to answer to the grand jury, and that during the March, April, and May terms of the circuit court the court entered orders which, after stating that good cause had been shown, continued the charge against the defendant to the next term. These orders sufficed to supply the "good cause" required by this section of our laws to prevent dismissal of the prosecution, and are not subject to collateral attack. * * *”
