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.
““The right to present cross-points or assignments is subject to some qualifications. When an appellant appeals from a part, only of a severable judgment, the appellee will not be heard to complain of any matters falling wholly within the portion of the judgment not brought up for review by the appellant. In such case it is incumbent upon the appellee to prosecute his own appeal from the portion of the judgment adverse to him. So also, where one did not apply for a writ of error and complaint of a separable part of the judgment of the Court of Civil Appeals against him, that part is not before the Supreme Court for review.””
