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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We have read the record to see whether Potts, Sr., had' express' or implied authority to substitute his son or any one else to drive the car, and we find that he had none. Furthermore, ‘ the record fails to show to our satisfaction that Steen, the general manager, who represented the corporation, had any knowledge that young Potts had at any time previous to' this occasion been permitted to drive the car by his father, although he had done so two or three times.””
