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.
““The mere possession of money, or even an entire lack of it, should not be regarded as proof positive either of ‘visible means of support’ or the lack of such means within the meaning of this statute. * * * Of course, the ‘means’ must be legitimate and sufficient, the result of industry and honest effort and toil, or otherwise lawfully acquired. They are the ‘means’ which honest men usually possess and employ, and not those of tricksters, fakirs, thieves, and other violators of our laws.””
