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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Generally there must be such acts of violence used or threatened as give those in possession reason to apprehend personal danger, or tend directly to cause a breach of the peace.... When a person entering on the land of another by his behavior or speech gives those who are in possession just reason to think that he intends to take possession by force if they do not give way to him, his entry is to be deemed forcible, whether he cause the apprehension of the use of violence by taking with him such unusual number of attendants, or by arming himself in such a manner, as plainly to indicate a design to back his pretensions by force, or by actually threatening to kill, maim, or beat those who continue in possession, or by making use of expressions plainly implying a purpose of using force against those who make resistance.”
