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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

Williams, 98 Ga. 807, 810 , 27 S. E. 183 ), and reading the act itself, we can not believe that the act should be struck down by reason of any repugnancy to the provision of the Constitution above quoted.”
