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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"There is language in Agnew v. Jones, 74 Miss. 347 , 23 So. 25 which conflicts with the holding in Beck v. Louisville, etc., R. Co., supra, but the question there presented was very different from that presented in the Beck case and here, and it does not appear that the court there intended to overrule the Beck case and clearly did not think that case had been overruled when it decided the Belzoni Oil Co. case, for the Beck case was there cited and relied on." ( 193 Miss. at 152-153 , 8 So.2d at 508 .)”
