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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The court below was in error in its conclusion that for overtime the Act required Norris to pay merely one and one-half the minimum wage prescribed by the Act. On the contrary, the Act requires the employer to pay for overtime one and one- half the regular wage of the employee, when this regular wage exceeds the minimum prescribed by the Act. We made this quite clear in Missel v. Overnight Motor Transportation Co., 4 Cir., 126 F.2d 98 , affirmed Overnight Motor Transp. Co. v. Missel, 316 U.S. 572 , 62 S.Ct. 1216 , 86 L.Ed. 1682 . Said Mr. Justice Reed, in his opinion in this case, 316 U.S. at page 577 , 62 S.Ct. at page 1220 : ‘The provision of section 7 [a] [of the Act] requiring this extra pay for overtime is clear and unambiguous. It calls for 150% of the regular, not the minimum wage.’ ””
