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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““Fault may exist, but we are unable to discover it; it is inscrutable. "Where the evidence is so conflicting that it is impossible to determine to what direct and specific acts the collision is attributable, it is a case of damage arising from a cause that is inscrutable. * * * "Whether the case at bar be thus classified, or whether it be held to come within the admiralty definition of inevitable accident, is not material; in -either event the loss must be borne by the party on whom it falls. * * * The question has now been definitely decided by a vast preponderance of authority that there can be no recovery or partial recovery unless fault is affirmatively shown.” The Jumna, supra, and numerous authorities cited in the opinion.”
