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.
““This calls for a conclusion as distinct from a finding of fact. The facts which show the proximate cause of the collision were found by the jury in its answers to questions 7 and 12, which were submitted. ... The answers to questions 3 and 4 indicate that it was not. Considering the questions submitted and the answers thereto we think it was not error for the court to refuse to submit these specific questions.” (p. 214.)”
