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.

““The gist of the offense (of assault to inflict great bodily injury) is the intent, which is seldom capable of direct proof and ordinarily is disclosed by all the circumstances attending the assault, together with all relevant facts and circumstances as disclosed by the evidence. The extent of the injury * * * may be considered * * *. A person is presumed to have intended the natural result of his intentional act.””
