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

The rule laid down by it is that the speed shall at all times be reasonable and proper, having regard for the traffic in use of the highway, whatever speed that may be, but that a speed in excess of 30 miles an hour under the conditions named shall throw the burden of showing its reasonableness on the driver of the machine. ’ ’”
