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 37 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Since our statute uses the words ‘from the person of another,’ it would not be unreasonable to assume that the Legislature intended that they should be given the same meaning attributed to them at common law, and thus construed, it is not essential to a conviction for the crime of robbery, as said in Hill v. State (1894), 42 Nebr. 503, 527, 60 N. W. 916 , ‘that the property be taken from the body of the person wronged. It is sufficient if taken from his personal presence or personal protection’.””
