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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““An opinion in a particular case, founded on its special circumstances, is not applicable to cases under circumstances essentially different.” Brooks v. Marbury, 24 U. S. (11 Wheat.) 78, 90 ( 6 L. Ed. 423 ). And “general expressions, in every opinion, are to be taken in connection with the case in which those expressions are used. If they go beyond the case, they may be respected, but ought not to control the judgment in a subsequent suit, when the very point is presented for decision.” Cohens v. Virginia, 19 U. S. (6 Wheat.) 264, 398, 399 ( 5 L. Ed. 257 ); King v. Pomeroy, 121 Fed. 287 , 294, 58 C. C. A. 209 , 216; Evans v. Victor, 204 Fed. 361 , 367, 122 C. C. A. 531 , 537.”
