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.
““ ‘The pendency of an action will make a second action, for the same cause, and in which the same judgment can be rendered, abatable; but not vice versa.’ Buffin v. Tilton, 17 Pick. 510 ; Webster v. Randall, 19 Pick. 13 . A subsequent suit may be abated by an allegation of the pendency of a prior suit, but the converse of the proposition is, in personal actions, never true.””
