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 41 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““It is true that part of the language of the statute is: “knowingly make any false statement . as to the . . . nonliability of himself . . . for service;” but that does not include a statement on which the registrant, at the very moment of filing it, declares that he does not mean to rely; and we think it not an unfair paraphrase of the testimony that Rubinstein said to the board: “Don’t pay any attention to what I have said about the dependency of other people upon me; I am not relying upon that part of my affidavit.” . [A] ¡though in the case at bar Rubinstein might indeed have been laying a false foundation for a future claim, he was not indicted for doing so, and the foundation could not become a crime unless he later built upon it the necessary superstructure by an attempt to use it.”
