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

1. ““Since no suit and no claim was pending within two years after the property vested in the Custodian, the ‘later’ date and the last on which suit could be brought was April 30, 1949. The claim filed with the Custodian in September, 1946 could not toll the two-year period that had expired in 1945. In our opinion there is no merit in appellant’s contentions that the statute does not mean what it says and that if it does it is unconstitutional. It is ‘well established that suit may not be maintained against the United States in any case not clearly within the terms of the statute by which it consents to be sued.’ United States v. Michel, 282 U.S. 656, 659 , 51 S.Ct. 284 , 75 L.Ed. 598 . ‘And the power to withdraw the privilege of suing the United States or its instrumentalities knows no limitations. Lynch v. United States, 292 U.S. 571, 581, 582 ( 54 S.Ct. 840, 844 , 78 L.Ed. 1434 ) and cases cited.’ Maricopa County v. Valley Nat'l Bank of Phoenix, 318 U.S. 357, 362 , 63 S.Ct. 587, 589 , 87 L.Ed. 834 .””
