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 48 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Thus it is true that the appellant’s injury endowed him with two separate causes of action: * * *. But it does not follow from this, as the appellant contends, that he can recover full damages in both of the actions available to him. The reason for this is that the damages recoverable in each action to some extent overlap, and the rule prevails in admiralty as elseiohere in the law that no one may recover compensatory damages more than once.” (Emphasis supplied. 160 F.2d 590 at p. 592 .)”
