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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““But even if the question of widening said highway was before the court below for determination, appellants cannot, after the evidence was excluded as not material, on their objection, complain on the ground that there was no evidence to sustain the jury’s answer to said interrogatory. This is true, because it is well settled that one on whose objection competent evidence to prove a fact is excluded cannot afterwards say that the fact was not proved.””
