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.
““Whenever the element of force or putting in fear enters into taking of the property and is the cause that induces the owner to part with it, the taking is robbery, no matter how slight the act of force or the cause creating the fear may be, nor by what other circumstances the taking may be accompanied. It is sufficient that the putting in fear overcomes the resistance on the part of the person from whom the property is taken, and is the moving cause inducing him to part unwillingly with his property. (Emphasis supplied.)”
