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 48 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The defendant may have been at fault in bringing on the difficulty, though he may not have entertained the specific intent to bring it on. The law required that he should be mindful in this regard of the probable consequences of any wrongful word or .act. He must have been free from all fault, or wrongdoing, which had the effect to provoke or bring on the difficulty. McQueen v. State, 103 Ala. 12 , 15 So. 824 ; Crawford v. State, 112 Ala. 1 , 21 So. 214 ; Griffin v. State, 165 Ala. 29 , 50 So. 962 ." (Italics ours).”
