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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“`The fee of a counsellor is a gift of such a nature, that the able client may not neglect to give it without ingratitude. For it is but a gratuity or taking of thankfulness; yet the worthy counsellor may not demand it, without doing wrong to his reputation, according to that moral rule; Multa honeste accipi possunt, quae tamen peti non possunt. Sir Jno. Davis's preface to his reports, 22, 23.'”
