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 30 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Further averments that it was practicable for appellant to supply appellee ‘with goggles or some other device’ to prevent the flying slivers from striking him in the eyes do not make out a cause of action for negligence. There is no statute which requires goggles to be furnished by the employer, the facts alleged do not show that any duty to supply them had been imposed by custom or contract, either express or implied, and no such duty was imposed by the common law in the absence of a contract.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““The averment that appellant failed to provide ‘some other device’ for the protection of the workman, though it was practicable to do so, is not the statement of any facts at all.” (Our emphasis.)”
