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

Such agreement shall be construed to be a direct promise by the insurer to the person entitled to compensation under the Workmen’s Compensation Law, and may be enforced directly by such person in his name * *”
