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 47 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Under the Constitution and laws of the United States each state is required to give full faith and credit to the judgments of sister states. Such' judgments are not, in a strict sense, foreign judgments ; but the state in which the properly authenticated judgment of a sister state is pleaded or offered in evidence is obliged by the federal mandate to accord to such judgment the faith, credit, and respect that would be accorded it in and by the courts of the sister state in which such judgment was rendered.””
