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.

““When a search warrant is issued, it is not a guaranty that incriminating evidence will be found when the search is made. Whether anything is found, or the quantity thereof, does not affect the validity of the warrant. Basis of the warrant is not what will be found in the future, or on the date of the search, but what has already been done or is being done at the time the warrant is issued.””
