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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The statute [the one there considered] is in derogation of common right; conduct devoid of moral turpitude is made criminal by legislative fiat. It is a familiar rule of construction that a statute regulating conduct which is not criminal or wrongful unless it has been made so by the statute is to be strictly construed, and the statute is not to be extended by implication to classes not clearly within its terms.””
