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 34 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"It was appellees' duty, if they desired to object to his acting because of interest, to make such objection at the earliest opportunity, and thereby prevent the accumulation of needless costs and the attainment of a fruitless result. If a party, knowing of a valid objection to a proceeding, neglects to avail himself of it, and stands by or participates therein until a result is reached adverse to his interests, it is but justice that he should bear the consequences which his own folly has suffered to occur. Appellees made no objection, but knowingly acquiesced in the appointment of viewers and in Taylor's subsequent participation in the proceedings and final judgment. The board should have been given an opportunity to correct its own errors while the matter was before it."”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““It is an ancient maxim of the law, that no man should be a judge in his own cause, and this principle still prevails wherever judicial tribunals are maintained. Winters v. Coons (1904), 162 Ind. 26 . It is of such potent force that, under our constitutions and enlightened sense of justice, a legislative act which should undertake to make a man arbiter of his own case would be held void. Cooley, Const. Lim. (5th ed.), - . “At common law the disqualification of a judge because of interest in the subject-matter brought before him did not affect his jurisdiction, and his acting in the cause was regarded as a mere irregularity or error, on account of which a timely recusation would afford ground for the reversal of his judgment upon appeal or writ of error.””
