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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"There was no error in allowing the state to prove the good character of the deceased for peace and quiet. The ground of objection to this evidence seems to be, that the general reputation of the deceased had not heen put in issue, but only the particular traits of his character as a quick-tempered, violent man, easily provoked,- and likely to provoke a difficulty. If these traits of disposition are provable at all — which we do not decide — they are not separable from the question of character.””
