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.
“Petitioner, as stated, has held this license under annual renewals since 1930. Into the business he has put his life's savings, presumably, for him, a considerable investment. For aught that appears to the contrary, he is a reputable citizen and member of the community, a married man with three children, one of whom is now serving as a member of our armed forces overseas. He remains liable under a four-year unexpired term of his lease at a substantial rental, for the premises occupied by him are at a location on Pitkin avenue, which is as busy as Fulton street, Broadway or any of the most important thoroughfares in Brooklyn. Property values there are as high as in exclusive shopping centers anywhere in the city. It is difficult to conceive of such a location as an attractive hide-out or lure for criminals, unless all poolrooms may be so deemed. In that event, none should be sanctioned. If the circumstances are otherwise, the police have proven singularly ineffective for, beyond abortive arrests which in themselves mean nothing, they have been able to establish nothing to the contrary in the past fourteen years.”
