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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““. . . [T]he workman, or his privies, cannot maintain a common law action for damages for injuries received, or the death of the workman, who was working under the workmen’s compensation act. The holdings of our court have been uniform on this question. There is no occasion or necessity to make any different rule in this case. . . .” (1. c. 563.)”
